And Cronkite's claim that becuase we were losing during the Tet Offensive, the war was lost...nothing further from the truth could have been said! In fact, for every Ameican lost during the Tet Offensive, 100 of the enemy were lost.
At the Battle of the Ardennes Salient (The Battle of the Bulge), the Allies were losing for the first few days. By Walter's logic, we should have withdrawn all American forces and left Europe to the Germans.

“By Walter’s logic...”

Well said. I have noticed the left always talks about “exit strategies”. How about winning? They also always try to paint America and Americans in the worst possible light when we are at war. If I am fair, then I must truthfully admit America has made mistakes. Every nation has. But in the course of history, no nation has given as much of themselves for the benefit of all humankind as America. What kind of world would we now have if in 1941 our leaders asked about “exit strategy”? What if they spoke of our own racial problems, our financial problems and decided we didn’t have the funds or the “moral position” to go to war? No, we are not perfect. We never will be. But, take a good long look around the world. America is it’s last great hope. We have to fix ourselves - because as bad as things are in America, without a free America - the world looks pretty dark.-—JM
