Next to Ho Chi Minh Walter Cronkite is the man most responsible for the defeat of the American effort in Vietnam. After a resounding defeat of the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive that son of a bitch instead proclaimed it a North Vietnamese victory and soured American public opinion against the war.
Thank you for sharing that! I was 5 years old and need to educate myself on that era. Our schools NEVER touched it and I remain, sadly, ignorant on so much of it!
