Whatever happened to plain old history? The kind where the author covered all sides without bias and let the reader decide?

Easy - someone is offended at someone else's politicized version, and feels insecure in the facts' ability to speak for themselves. Introduce a contest of value judgments, with both sides upping the ante. Thanks, partisan politics and ideological divisiveness.
There are of course two sides to blame in any debate, just as in any war. It is fair to say that there's also been a popular smearing and dismissal of Vietnam. However I feel that responding in kind (with some facts thrown in) is totally the wrong solution.
