I never said that. I mean it simple
In Vietnam they showed kids being blown up and this propaganda was used to call my friend a babykiller.
In this war they are trying too! hard to keep these images away from US TV.
I am only saying maybe the media has learned a lesson from Vietnam and now they focus more on the heroism of the troops.
Another good example is
The POW girl who was rescued (and the media barely mentiones the fact that an Iraqui told Marines where she was, walking thru the dessert for 5 days)
The 7 POW's who were RESCUED (actually they were turned over by the dying Military Regime of Iraq)
Fact become a little blurred if you want to keep the patrionism high in this country.
The media has learned from past mistakes (Korea, Vietnam) but now they are going to the opposite extreme, thats not to good either.
I really need to start drinking or something lol
