Sadly no historical 'facts' can be taken at face value. Anyone with a lick of sense already knows that but you're still missing or trying to misdirect everyone from the topic at hand:
How very disrespectful those games are to those who laid down their lives/put their lives on the line to bring about a 'positive' end to the World Wars and how those who went to Vietnam died in vain or came back to hostility that they didn't deserve. No sane soldier want's to go into battle but do when their country calls upon them to do so. (Is anyone else annoyed that I have to keep repeating that and it continues to not sink in?)
On a side note: Anti-wise if you know about those battles then obviously they're in the history books somewhere otherwise you couldn't have possibly heard of them unless you were there or had firsthand accounts from someone who was.
