For example, the Vietnam War, from which emerged the Vietnam War Hero, John McCain, POW. Calling the Vietnam War a "quagmire" into which the U.S. got stuck manages to avoid the issue of U.S. agency. How one POW who dropped bombs on civilians becomes a war hero and goes on to become a presidential nominee while a winner of three purple hearts who engaged enemy fire at close range goes on to become a presidential nominee and comes to be called a traitor further illustrates the insidious workings of false victimology.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364222564118379939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-60081336786873725372008-10-02T20:00:00.000-05:002008-10-02T20:00:00.000-05:00As a 20-something, I can see parallels of your vic...As a 20-something, I can see parallels of your victimology in a culture we derogatorily refer to as "emo"; privileged teenage whiners.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-41895813068066214882008-02-08T13:26:00.000-06:002008-02-08T13:26:00.000-06:00ohh, I didn't know...ohh, I didn't know...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-22970192377443103792008-02-08T06:26:00.000-06:002008-02-08T06:26:00.000-06:00Elle,The '72 Dolphins went undefeated in the regul...Elle,<BR/><BR/>The '72 Dolphins went undefeated in the regular season, but that was back when NFL teams were only playing 14 games.
