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.
