Chapter 10 suggests how President John F. Kennedy helped revive the “‘frontier’ as a trope of populist imperialism” as he described in a speech the country’s future path towards a “new frontier” with respect to the other parts of the world, especially in regard to the Cold War and anti-communism struggle. Chapter 10 also supports how the myth of U.S. exceptionalism remained strong. Counterinsurgency in Vietnam involved U.S. troops referring to Vietnam as “Indian Country” or other references originally used in the context of past wars against Indigenous people.
