"How about giving me some time?"

Carter's method is very simple, one word: procrastination! Two words: hard procrastination!

No matter what, let's deal with the situation in front of him first, and then think of ways to solve it slowly. It is related to his first image at Yale, and Carter has to be cautious about this.

Although his first speech was a bit imprudent. But now that he has felt the impact of speaking out, Carter cannot ignore it...

Our character of a practical person with independent thinking cannot be ruined!

"Okay, you're right! We can give you time to investigate and study, but you also have to give us a clear time. How about a week? Is that enough?"

"Okay, one week! A week later, I will still be here, at the same time, and I will share with you my opinions based on objective facts!"

···

···

"Do you really want to study this? Do you have time?"

After sending away the group of Yale founders, Rick, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, Carter already had enough things going on, so how could he have time to investigate the causes and consequences of these nonsense.

And, the most critical question: After checking, is it useful?!

"You have to make time even if you don't have time! You are not interested in politics, but I have to consider my 'Yale political image', right?"

He angrily picked up a piece of beef and chewed it vigorously as if to vent his anger. Carter felt very annoyed...

Even if I'm annoyed by these idiots at Yale, they always like to talk about these nonsense things that have nothing to do with me when they're full; I'm also annoyed by that mysterious Mayan Lin, who's just doing such nonsense!

I just ask you to add a national flag pattern, what a big deal?!

"You are so patient. If it were me, I wouldn't be bothered with such nonsense."

"Depending on the rewards, there's no other way. If I'm greedy for Yale's connections and resources, I have to accept its rules. At least until I don't have the ability to change the rules now, I can only play by them! And I have to become a senior player among them.

, I can get the resources I want.”

"It's up to you. If you need help, just tell me."

"Sure, buddy!"

After finishing lunch in a hurry, he continued his classes in the afternoon. It was only after the ROTC course ended that Carter had time to look up relevant information about the Vietnam War Memorial.

On April 27, 1979, not long before Carter traveled to this world, a group of Vietnam War veterans, influenced by the words of a former Army corporal, Jane Scruggs, established the Vietnam Veterans Association in Washington. They called for

Build a monument to commemorate those who died in the Vietnam War, and make this monument a distinctive symbol in American society.

They put forward four requirements: (1) The monument itself should have distinctive characteristics; (2) It should be coordinated with the surrounding landscape and buildings; (3) The names of all those killed and missing in action should be engraved on the monument; (4) For

Regarding the Vietnam War, there should not be a single word of introduction or evaluation on the monument.

After finding the information here, Carter breathed a sigh of relief.

Look, the monument must have distinctive features. This is what the *** themselves requested! Isn’t it too much to support it yourself?

At the same time, Carter secretly laughed at the request not to use the Vietnam War comment on the monument. Good guy, do you still know that this is a war of aggression?

But immediately, Carter stopped laughing.

For low-level soldiers like Jane Scruggs, what if they knew they were fighting an unjust war? What could they change?!

In war, for the lower-level soldiers, including officers, it actually doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong. They can neither decide nor change the war.

They only know whether they fulfilled their duty as soldiers during the war, and whether they have lost several close companions...

After sighing leisurely, Carter continued to look down:

At this time, on July 1, 1980, the U.S. Congress officially approved a piece of land at the end of Constitution Park for this group of veterans to build this monument to commemorate the comrades they had lost.

Interestingly, Congress only approved land for construction, but did not provide even a penny of budget. In other words, the money to build the monument had to be raised by these Vietnam War veterans themselves...

This information let Carter know why the Veterans Association was jumping up and down on this matter. The relationship was completely paid for by others? He is the father of Party A, so he is not allowed to give opinions?!

Carter suddenly felt a little sympathy for these Vietnam War veterans. What a tragedy! They risked their lives to fight in other countries. After the war, the United States actually refused to pay for the construction of a monument...

If those fallen soldiers had known about it, I wonder if they would have been so angry that they would have come to life! And shot the heads off the people in the White House...

Time came to May 1, 1981, Maya Lin's work was selected first by the jury of the monument design competition. Then her design triggered various controversies, until now...

From the written materials, Carter did not find Mayalin's design concept. So, the next day, with the help of the council's status, Carter went to visit the college where Mayalin once lived...

"Maya Lin? She is a girl who is a little lonely but very studious. I remember that when she was your age, when she was asking for advice on course selection, she wanted to major in sculpture and architecture.

I told her: 'This way

No, kid, you can only choose between architecture and sculpture, so she chose to major in architecture. But this did not affect her. From her freshman year, she would often go to

I went to the Art Institute to attend a sculpture class."

"Oh, by the way, she is a student of the 1977 class and has graduated in the first half of the year. I heard that she is now going to Harvard University for further study. I don't know much about her current situation. But I can imagine that she must be under a lot of pressure now! Because

Her Asian identity is because she is a woman, a woman with no military experience..."

"Then, do you think she will be the so-called person with ulterior motives? And the cost of her admission to Yale..."

Carter couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not! That child's interest in studying funeral architecture has been there since her freshman year! She was very withdrawn at that time, very withdrawn, but she is a little better now. I remember that at that time, I often saw her leaving the campus alone.

I was very curious about what she was doing. So I followed her quietly, and I found that she liked to go to the tree-lined cemetery alone and observe tombstones one by one..."

"Later she went to Europe, oh, yes, at her own expense! Her family situation was good, and although she was Asian, her income was not a problem. She went to Denmark, and after she came back she talked to me a lot about her visit to the cemetery in Copenhagen

Knowledge. In other words, she had an interest in the study of funeral architecture before we opened a course on funeral architecture at Yale. And she may have had it very early, maybe in her freshman, sophomore or junior year.

Definitely, a unique understanding of funeral architectural design.”

"So, I don't believe those heart-breaking words from the outside world. I think she should have integrated the funeral customs of other cultures into the Vietnam War Memorial. This idea may not be acceptable to most Americans. But it is just a design concept.

I am disgusted by comments that elevate the design of works of art to racial ideology or even conspiracy theories!"

"So irresponsible! They don't understand Mayalin at all!"
