Reply #65: Beg to disagree. The 'Nam war was hugely popular in the early

years. Like I said up thread, my mom was really big on killin' them commies 'til I got drafted. The press was initially very supportive of the war effort with glowing reports of actions and battles with glorious results. The Pentagon did all they could to get independent US journalists in-country. 'Bout 69-70 the media turned sour on the war and began reporting the down side of killing people and tearing things up. When pictures of open rebellion like Charlie Company began to surface and the body bags hit damn near every village and hamlet in America things changed.

Don't need to read no stinkin' history . . .
