description: U.S. propaganda during war time breaks down into these 7 deadly spins, argues Mickey Z: Spin #1: The Sleeping Giant: The U.S. minds its own business but the sleeping giant is endlessly awakened or has its patience tested by surprise events and unprovoked hostilities. Spin #2: Good Wars: Once forced into war, the U.S. only does so in the name of democracy, freedom, and justice. Spin #3: U.S. vs. Them; Godless communists, subhuman (and superhuman) Japanese, gooks, chinks, butchers, terrorists, evildoers, and the next Hitler—the U.S. has faced off against the worst humanity has to offer. ; Spin #4: Support the Troops: No matter what we think or how we feel, we all unite behind our troops once the fighting starts.
