Back during the Vietnam War the only national news on television on weekdays was from 6:30 to 7 PM on 3 networks lead by old time newsmen who could be trusted. Walter Cronkite was the newsreader for CBS and was sold to us as “the most trusted man in America.”
During the Tet Offensive, our guys kicked ass pushed the NVA & the VC back where they came from and Charlie expended a lot of resources in defeat. They were at the brink of calling it quits.
Cronkite goes on the air and describes Tet as a disaster for American forces. This started the shift of anti-Vietnam sentiment from the extreme left to the mainstream. LBJ is even quoted as saying, “if I lost Cronkite, I lost middle America and I lost the war.” Not long after he publicly told voters he would not run for another term. The rest of the MSM jumped on board. John Kerry committed treason with his Senate testimony which led to his television appearances before his entry into politics.
Seeing what was going on in American media, North Vietnam becomes emboldened. Kissinger sells us out in the worst act of treason committed by a Secretary of State until the BHO years.
Lost to history, Nixon was trying to win in Vietnam which was the real reason for his impeachment inquiry rather than Watergate. DS RINOs convince Nixon to resign and the Dems sweep both houses of Congress on the MSMs reporting on Nixon. Once they controlled the purse, they defund Vietnam and the South falls weeks later
None of this would have occurred had not Cronkite got the ball rolling and the rest of the MSM ran with it.
After he retired from CBS, Cronkite openly advocated for global government.

I was there. The deep state failed our soldiers in Vietnam all in the name of $$$ with illegal drug running.

Good post. That was back in the days where defence contractors were the Big Pharma of today. Back then Big Pharma was Aspirin. Today, Big Pharma is the biggest corporate lobbyist block in DC. Back then it was the defence contractors and they loved their wars. It didn’t matter where they were or who got killed. They were making a shitload of them.
But the glue that held them together then and now is what the MSM wants the American public to know about them. They can make or break you in a heartbeat. There is so much money and influence in the media then and now that they are terrified the American people would ever find out some day - we already have.
That is why there was the invention of social media. Those guys knew what influence traditional radio and television had over the masses. So they branched out to steal market share from what is a completely corrupt and amoral industry that needs their necks put in a guillotine.

Vietnam was meant to be an eternity war like the middle east.
Defeat the enemy with your arms and legs tied behind your back and a muzzle on.
It's meant to fatigue the command in the military by churning through commanders and presenting the inability to succeed as failure. Then they promote up their witless lackies.

I don't think it is so simple, older Anon. I think the entire Vietnam war was conceived from the beginning to a be war that we lose. I think LBJ and others had to put effort into it to make sure we lost, and that casualties were high.
It probably is not true that had Cronkite not done that, that LBJ would have pressed on and achieved victory. I don't think that was the plan.

Cronkike was just a cog in the big Military Industrial Complex wheel.

Isn’t Cronkite the owl voice at Bohemian Grove?

Thank you for that explanation. I was just a small child back then. Never understood Vietnam.

Sorry to tell you this, the US lost because the Vietcong were better warriors.
At the peace talks they told the US delegates that they have been fighting invaders to a 1000 years, you are just one of a long line of aggressors we have fought and won, and you believe you can still win?

I’ll never buy that. We were sold out by elements in our government looking to weaken our nation.

The kill ratios (US - VC) tell a much different story.

Most still have the kosher view of why ZoG had us fight in Vietnam.
Their goal wasn't to stop communism, their goal was to get as many White warriors killed as possible, as well as help open our borders because even the honorable right supported saving non-communist Vietnamese via mass immigrating into the US, also the Vietnam war helped their decades long demoralization campaign to divide and conquer the american people. While our soldiers were at war the subversive vermin were starting the first stages of solcial marxist subversion in our colleges at home.
That by the way is the biggest reason they are pulling out the corpse of RBG now instead of last year when she died. It is absolutely causing divide and conquer and neither artificial side will get what they want. The kosher right, and admittadly the White right are glad she is dead. The brainwashed and the kosher left are crying like the faggots they are. Those retards are in an emotionally compromised position and the lying press is prepping them to accept more rioting and violence.
The brainless kosher right is obsessed with which zogbot that won't actually do what we want will be appointed soon or not.
These fools fight over every little irrelevant detail.
Then the shills will go all in saying judge X isn't a traitorous zogbot, and call everyone with a differing opinion based on facts a shill.
you can put money on it because it just happened twice in a row, and both Trump appointments turned out to be baby killing zogbots who will help keep all divide and conquer laws like affirmative action and civil rights act right where they are.
