Amazing. Even back then (the immediate postwar period) the leftist journalists and academia types tended to side with America's enemies. At least then they had the courtesy of subtly admitting what they were doing: "I'm not sticking up for the Germans, but..."

Every time someone mentions the media and the military in our country since Viet Nam, I have two observations:
Someday, someone is going to finally figure out if we took more casualties in Viet Nam because of the actions of our own news media than those of the NVA, Viet Cong, Russia and the ChiComs combined.
In that same vein, has anyone ever thought about the extravagant measures taken to isolate the media from military units during the First GW? Just consider that most of the upper level enlisted types had first enlisted in the late 60’s or early 70’s, combine that with my bad attitude (you can figure out if it’s typical or not), add a bunch of live rounds and estimate the life expectancy of a reporter in milliseconds for me.
