Earlier today I read that many of the early Vietnam war historians were very explicitly anti the war/ maybe even communist themselves, this led to many of them excluding many of the horrible things North Vietnam did which in turn has heavily affect our modern day view of such war, is there credence to this?. For example the My Lai massacre is very well know but not so much the Massacre at Hue despite having a much higher body count. Essentially the question comes down to did the anti war rhetoric blind us from having a more balanced view of the war. Modern portrayals of the war tend not to give any credence to the South Vietnamese government but many of its citizens desperately tried to escape when it collapsed. P.S. I'm not trying to justifying the war in any way, I'm just wandering if things were more complicated and how it affects us today.
