- The American War in Indochina: Injustice and Outrage Truda Gray Brian Martin Sociología outrage Backfi re injustice Indochina In the war in Indochina, with its unprecedented scale of fi repower, many U.S. military actions had the potential to generate outrage in Indochina, the United States, and elsewhere. Examination of three interrelated aspects of U.S. military operations in the Indochina war - the bombing, the Phoenix Program, and the My Lai massacre - reveals numerous examples of how the U.S. government tried to inhibit outrage from its actions. Th e methods used can be classifi ed into fi ve categories: covering up the action; devaluing the target; reinterpreting the action; using offi cial channels to give the appearance of justice; and intimidating and bribing people involved. Th is analysis shows how minimization of public outrage is a key task for war-makers and also points to a variety of ways to challenge the perpetrators of injustice. 2008 artículo científico 1988-7221 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=205016386002 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2050 Revista de Paz y Conflictos application/pdf Universidad de Granada Revista de Paz y Conflictos (España) Num.1
