Blaming the Media coverage for Vietnam Loss
tags:
Stumble ThisThe program made in 1984, pushes the idea that the Vietnam war was lost not because of ill fated decision to get involved in Vietnam. But because the media was pushing for a loss in Vietnam.
This how now there is a view that Vietnam was lost because of media coverage, which in turn lead to embedded reportage and strangling of war coverage by the US Army.

The dominoes never fell. Vietnam went right to war with its ancient enemy China, shortly after the departure of the Quixotic, merciless Americans. And now right-wing scum celebrate the Cambodian Genocide as a gift to vile revisionism, ad infinitum. George W used it not so long ago, in contending that the USA never should have left Vietnam--you can guess what argument he was making with that pretzel logic.
