We're living in a sea of lies and distortions, from the history taught in school to current news. What ever happened to the Native Americans? That's barely covered in school history classes. Talk about a blatent coverup.
And this hero worship of war leaders? What a joke. Alexander the Great? It should be Alexander the Mass Murderer. And how about rulers and generals such as Churchill, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhauer, Lincoln, etc? These men were some of the biggest killers in history. They may have been on the side of a righteous cause, but that doesn't mean there weren't dozens of other reasons involved in what they were doing that were pure evil. Yet we are told these men are veritable saints.
It shows you how stupid most people are when they believe rulers that killed millions of people, including untold innocents, woman and children, are among the greatest, most nobel, most righteous men that ever lived. They were all murders. They just had some righteious cause they could use as political propaganda to justify their killings. Virtually every ruler of a country is a murderer.
