Less than a month after Dan Berrigan’s death, it is nauseating to find three hoary veterans of the Vietnam War pontificating in the New York Times about how “warriors” (like themselves, presumably, though one of them is more accurately a war criminal) “deserve our deepest respect, gratitude and support whenever and wherever they serve.” Yet in the very next paragraph, they refer to the epochal lie that was American intervention in Southeast Asia from day one.
