Interesting POV on historians.
Unfortunately, many historians are more propagandists than scholars -
deepening on their paymaster. It seems the Korean War has
its share of propaganda-historians.

-------------------
As generally understood, propaganda is opinion expressed for the purpose of
influencing actions of individuals or groups... Propaganda thus differs
fundamentally from scientific analysis. The propagandist tries to "put something
across," good or bad. The scientist does not try to put anything across; he
devotes his life to the discovery of new facts and principles. The propagandist
seldom wants careful scrutiny and criticism; his object is to bring about a
specific action. The scientist, on the other hand, is always prepared for and
wants the most careful scrutiny and criticism of his facts and ideas. Science
flourishes on criticism. Dangerous propaganda crumbles before it.
