Book review: 'Lieutenant Dangerous' a candid Vietnam War memoir


Steerforth Press, 195 pages, $14.95 paperback
Jeff Danziger has been an award-winning independent newspaper cartoonist for nearly 25 years. He now works with the Washington Post Writers Group.
After being drafted, he served in the Army from 1968 to 1971 and was sent to Vietnam in 1970. “Lieutenant Dangerous” is his memoir about that time. The book’s title plays on the Vietnamese’s attempts to pronounce his name.
As with his cartooning, Danziger pulls no punches with his description of his time in the service and Vietnam.
“I knew that I didn’t want to go, although I had no strong objection to other people going. I knew nothing about the army. I knew nothing about the army. I knew nothing about the history of Indochina. And I had no idea where or what Vietnam was. A survey … revealed that a scant 6 percent of Americans could find Vietnam on the map, and most of those did so by accident.” ....

Will: The D.C. statehood pretense


George F. Will
WASHINGTON—The Democratic-controlled Congress will soon try to transform part of the District of Columbia, which today is about one-eighteenth the size of Rhode Island but 18.9% larger than Denver International Airport, into a state. This will involve theatrical and constitutional difficulties.
The Democrats’ theatrical challenge will be to keep straight faces while insisting that their motivation is altruistic: indignation about D.C. residents paying federal taxes without being fully represented in Congress.
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan came within 3,761 Minnesota votes of carrying all 50 states, but won less than 14% of Washington D.C. votes. In 2020, Donald Trump won 5.4% of the D.C. vote. San Francisco will never vote Republican but will do so before D.C. does. Democrats insist, however, that this is irrelevant to them: Their interest is the inviolable principle “no taxation without representation.” ....
