Thanks for losing us the war, Walter Cronkite.

The most credit should be given to LBJ and Robert McNamara.

Was the south worth fighting for? Ask the French. Same goes for Ukraine. Taiwan? Doesn’t matter what the rest of the world thinks. They gotta know we’re on to them. Trump showed the way.

In one sense yes. But it was Cronkite’s lies that really turned public opinion. The administration didn’t have the competence to counter his BS.

Thanks Walter con kite.

TET 68 was the largest win for the Military since WWII, at least till the lame stream media got ahold of it. CONkite said the war is lost which was true for a communist like him. The military set back the commies four years.

When I got home form Viet Nam the news media was reporting much different war than what I left. They are still lying.

McNamara was the genius who tied the military’s hands and destroyed morale with his ‘rules of engagement’.
