Yet somehow we managed to win the WWII without media nickpicking every mistake and we couldn’t win in Vietnam when they were allowed to do so.
There are those whose role is to fix mistakes, and there are those whose role is to recruit/build morale. Rush’s role is the latter, do you really think he can both keep our spirits up and recruit effectively if all he does is critique the side he’s trying to recruit for?
WW2 was a serious effort, Vietnam was not. Our loss there was caused by our never committing the resources needed to win, not by the hostile press coverage our fiddle-farting around eventually earned.
