Lee, While your opinion concerning academia and the truth certainly applies to the sciences, I'm not so sure about historical research, where an indisputable picture of reality might be unobtainable. Certainly respected scholars will assimilate all available information, and spend a lifetime searching for the yet unfound, but note that many in the community are not above interjecting "educated opinion" or "politically correct revisionist thought" into their works. Many experts in the field are afterall the product of the sixties, with a desire to portray a new picture of the military, a picture which is not a romantic one.
