- Abstract:
The article discusses the relationship between American exceptionalism and U.S. involvement in wars from the 1960s through the 2010s, including through contending that antiwar movements are important to democracy and referencing the African American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Junior's anti-Vietnam War perspective. An overview of Americans' perspective on what is referred to as the heroic victimhood of U.S. veterans is provided.
