The Tet template was used against President Bush by the Drive-Bys. But he was made of sterner stuff than Flop Ears (Lyndon Johnson). Had Johnson told Cronkite to go to hell, we would have prevailed in Vietnam. Many Cambodians would have live a bit longer.
The lack of interest in this thread is testimony to the very effective obfuscation surrounding this outrage, even today.
Cronkite lied. People died.
Dan Rather was woven from the same whole-cloth.
There would have been lots of Americans living had ole "flop ears" as you call him would have had some balls.... I had the distinct pleasure of making a point of driving by his ranch in the '70's and pi$$ing on one of his fence posts....didn't do any good, but made me feel better...I did it for the guys who busted their a$$es because of his ineptitude..
