Phil deloria received his bachelors degree from the university of colorado in 1982. Wanting to observe and understand humanity from many different angles, he then taught band at A Denver Metro high school. Having observed High School Music performance to satisfaction he returned to cu for journalism and mass communication. Thats when we remembered what to call the program before it became an acronym that is it different every time i say it. One of the most gracious acts of kindness to me, phil took my western American History course, which i believe then was called the early year, the not so early american frontier as part of his journalism program.

But after we finished this and he asked me about some propaganda material about some battles that had i been in. And i said i have to disagree with you on this one particular battle. You guys didnt win. He looks leans forward and looks at me with all seriousness, oh, no, you have been misled by that Propaganda Machine we have in this country called the free press.

I was sympathetic with what president ial candidate Ronald Reagan said, but its a lot easier to say than it actually is to do. Im not of the school if we were to ramped up our effort in vietnam we would have won it. The most important thing we underestimated was presuming that communism was monolithic and that vietnam was a pep pet of the soviet union and china.
