EXACTLY! Walter Cronkite can be held responsible for much of the evil that transpired after we were forced to leave Vietnam. Whenever I think of the Killing Fields of Cambodia and the boat people, I think of Walter Cronkite. He started the ball rolling.
Sounds a little harsh? No...his false reporting that helped to turn public opinion was harsh. He held a lot of power in his day...as much or more than any politician.
Hubby was there as a pilot, and says that when we left we deserted that country and millions were killed. The press ignored it, as well as the hardships that were endured by these people.
Walter Cronkite, John Kerry and their like can be labeled as traitors, without question.
If any of you knew anything about history, you would know that privately Cronkite had been a strong supporter of American involvement in Vietnam. It was only after he went there to cover it that he changed his mind.
