’t lie. After then, they always lie." Do you think this is a fair assessment? Why or why not?

This is not a fair assessment because it is a generalization about the other presidents due to an event that happened a long time ago and that does not involve them.

The Vietnam War was a warlike confrontation that occurred in the territory of Vietnam in which two sides faced each other. On one side were the North Vietnamese who had a Communist ideology, while the South Vietnamese had a Capitalist ideology.

This confrontation involved several foreign countries such as the Soviet Union and the United States. In the case of the United States, many American citizens rejected the idea of ​​involving the country in an alien confrontation because it had not affected American interests.

The president of the United States did not take into account citizen requests not to get involved in this confrontation and lied to be able to get involved in it. From that moment the credibility of the government is lower.

The credibility of the next government was also affected because now citizens believe that the rulers are lying. This conception is wrong and unfair because the management of all the presidents and public servants cannot be generalized due to the wrong action of one of them.

Therefore, I believe that it is not a fair evaluation that is expressed by the war veteran Karl Marlantes because he is generalizing about all the rulers because of what one of them has done.

What did the Pittsburgh times refer to New Mexico citizen as?
Andre45 [30]

Answer: As "a mongrel population too ignorant and lazy to assume the privilege of full citizenship."

Explanation:

New Mexico was initially a Spanish colony, over the years its population grew composed mainly of Mestizos, and American Indians who were the original inhabitants of the territory. Later it became part of Mexico.

In 1846 it was invaded by the United States, and later, in 1848, it was acquired by the United States, along with Arizona, as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and bought for 15 million dollars.

However, it was given a status of the territory, and not state, due to disagreement about declaring it a slave state or a free state, and also considering it as a Spanish colony with a very large Spanish-speaking population.

Despite this opposition, in 1912 it was officially declared the 47th state of the American Union.
