I would say this is still a good example of why experiencing the material conditions of others first hand can break through the programming very easily for libs. He actually went to Vietnam and heard first hand accounts of what they had to endure and it was so overwhelming he personally wanted to kill Henry himself. I don’t understand why that doesn’t immediately trigger a skepticism of other American projects, but still. Thinking bombing Libya and wanting to do the same to Iran is quite the take though.

I think a lot of it is hating on American actions in Vietnam is an “acceptable” form of anti-imperialism for libs. But Libya was done by the good lib Obama (who Bourdain once had a 1x1 dinner with) so that one is not ok to criticize America for.
