Anybody else miss The Sands of Iwo Jima, The Lone Ranger, and the Landmark series of history books and bios for kids? Yes, the history was whitewashed, often to the point of lies. There was generally a clear line between good and evil, right and wrong. And in reality, those clear lines were often blurry if not nonexistent. Yeah, we have had our My Lais, too many of them. And Bat Masterson wasn't Gene Barry. But we had our Sgt Strykers.
