When you accept that history repeats itself (it does), you see the value in studying it and learning from it. History is one of the best tools if not the best tool, to use to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Vietnam.
Did we learn from the history of the French multi-year, unsuccessful war in Vietnam?
If we studied that history, we should never have fought in Vietnam. Fighting the people of Vietnam on their terrain was a war we, like the French, could not win.
So why did we fight in Vietnam for so many years knowing that history taught us that we could not win?
How much money and power did the military-industrial complex gain from those years in Vietnam fighting a war we could not win?
The love of money is the root of all evil. Follow the money to find the evil.
