I recall seeing historical news reports after the battle of Ia Drang Valley (We were soldiers...).
One of those famous reporters (Morely Safer???) is talking about it and ends the story with something like “In spite of the victory, it remains to be seen how long the mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters of these boys and men that lost their lives will continue to support a war in this far off land.”
This was after the first major battle, and a victory at that!
The only member of the press who was at I Drang, at least from the start was Galloway. He wrote the book. If Safer was there, it was at the end.
