In the event you haven't read Hasting's book, I thought you would find your Dad's quote interesting.

Truth and Public Policy, esp. War: I just finished magisterial *Vietnam--An Epic Tragedy, 1945-1975* by Sir Max Hastings. His Afterward emphasizes criticality of truth-telling by quoting activist Daniel Ellsberg and Marine Corp General Walt Boomer. Applies to Election 2020.

It's particularly powerful in the book, because it's right near the end and Hastings is trying to make some sense and see what we can learn from the 30 year tragedy.
