The [Viet Nam] war was a fiasco. Nobody seemed to know what they

no wonder the war became so unpopular back home. That's a LOT of grieving
families!

As for Walter Cronkite having anything to do with any of it, like they say,
don't shoot the messenger. Vietnam was the first war ever so widely covered.
The first to be basically televised. The first to bring the gore of war into
our homes. It woke us up as a society.

It did? We must have fallen back asleep then, cuz Georgie Porgie, Cheney
and their gang of thieves chumped us into ANOTHER fiasco war. (ooops,
make that TWO fiasco wars).

The Bush Crime Family and Halliburton loomed large in all 3 conflicts
mentioned here, and no doubt dozens more. The world would be much safer
if we'd remove the profit motive from war.
