There are many Media people who are now in high places who were young enough back then to be aware of things during Vietnam. They are now resurrecting the Vietnam stuff that they experienced back then. Many of them are working in Media, and are now in supervisory positions. They can now create a News environment that addresses their issues.

Oh I agree and not only that, These Boomers haven't grown up and act as every war and little skirmish (Well only when they happen during Republican Presidencies) is a continuation of Vietnam which is why no matter how good things are going in Iraq they will always highlight the negative using Vietnam Buzz words like "Quagmire".

Nearly every conflict (except suspiciously Bill Clinton's) begins with a chorus of "when the body bags start coming home this war will be halted".

I've even heard several songs "remixed" for radio to include comments from former President Bush (and others) saying things like "it's not going to be another Vietnam" with sad music playing as war is imminent.

Some people refuse to "move on".
