None of this would have occurred had not Cronkite got the ball rolling and the rest of the MSM ran with it.

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.
