Summary

This contemporary application episode connects the Vietnam War’s patterns of deception and infrastructure targeting to the ongoing Iran conflict. We examine the intelligence claims that justified the war, the media mechanisms that manufacture consent, the return to overt civilian infrastructure targeting, and the constitutional failures that have allowed executive war-making to proceed unchecked This is a public episode.
