Then, as now, there was a war going on against poor people in a distant country, which our government presented to us as a civil war. I was a slow learner. Before I could recognize what the situation really was, I had to be a marine for three years, go to Vietnam for the State Department, and read the whole 7,000-page history of our involvement […] It was not a civil war. That was the real secret of the Pentagon Papers. We Americans were not just on the wrong side in Vietnam; we were the wrong side.
— Daniel Ellsberg (10 Dec. 1987 interview)
[P]rior to what we call “the Korean War,” some 100,000 had been killed in South Korea […] part of our successful effort to destroy the indigenous political system and install our chosen clients.
— Noam Chomsky, “Visions of Righteousness” (1986)
