If you reach really hard for a narrative, you have to pound on it like a square peg into a round hole. 15000 Iraqi deaths in the first year become 100,000. 2,500 combat deaths has the same seriousness as 50,000. A supply delay of one day becomes a quagmire. The draft is just around the corner. The military is horribly and irretrievably broken and dishonorable.
As many as 500 villagers were killed at mai lai. You've just thrown them down the truth hole, and basically dishonored them to try to vainly make a point.
This message is in a small font and unreadable color to make another point... that font and color size have no bearing on the ability of your words to make a statement.
