[R. Scott]

Soldiers are a risk PR-wise, the wounded a liability. No one can tell what they might say…

I encountered Walter Cronkite’s crew one time. If they had tried to interview me it never would have been broadcast – I was pushing my way through his crowd of tabloid “journalists” trying to get into the Battalion Aid station. They were intent on taking footage of wounded American as part of their work for Hanoi’s Propaganda Section.

But I think there is a problem when there is all this talk about the troops, but the networks are not willing to broadcast what the troops themselves say.. It seems to me the case for the legitimacy of the war can be made far more easily by a real soldier than some Harvard grad who never wore boots.
