Probably more of the latter, although less insidiously than you might conclude. I mean, the little Dominican adventure pales in comparison to Vietnam. Which episode are the historians going to hash through for decades to come, and which will be a footnote? Good for you for knowing about it at all. 99% of the American populace will likely remain ignorant of that minor war.
