Big Con Poll

From time to time I've done detailed debunkings of the absurd myths by which conservatives defend the Vietnam War: for instance here [1], here [2], here [3], and here [4] (one of my best efforts was in The New Republic, but with an astonishing incompetence, all their archives went up in smoke when they moved to a new website, so I can't link to it).

So here's my question: a supremely absurd regurgitation of these arguments has recently shown up in the conservative magazine Commentary [5]. It gives me a headache to debunk historical solecisms point by point; the futility—the truth won't change these people's mind—makes me feel like I'm filling a bathtub with an eye-dropper. But for my loyal reader's sake, I'll do it—if you want me to.

So please do vote in the comments: is this a productive use of my time?
