Thank you. Interesting.
Thats the bottom line, at least they were loyal to America before, well put, and may I add loyal to our troops.
I got the Library Of America's "Reporting Vietnam Vol. 1" from my library. They have Vol. 2 as well which I'll pick up next week or so.
It's very interesting, most of the stories are 6 to 10 pages and you can pick and choose what you want to read.
Highly recommended.
BTW, I got it for precisely the same question you raised: I wanted to see how the Vietnam reporting of the past compared to the Iraq reporting of today.
The differences are obvious and dramatic.
