You're all kidding right? This is hilarious!!! With the likes of Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh having to shoot up the outrageous meter every day to justify their multi-million dollar salaries, this is a pot calling the kettle black moment.

Vinny, you poor victim. You are an island of righteousness, surrounded by a sea of racists.

The concept behind. Vietnam was an indirect war with China. You enter war by identifing your enemigo and you engage in wars only to win, you stay out of conflicts to let conflicts resolve themselves. If your a soldier battling on the ground you need to know your fighting to win. Embargos againt Russia sped up the fall of their economy. I dont like sequels as they are never as good as the original. How about Michael. Phelps 34th world record.

About the time i became a teenager in the early 60s and started paying attention to news I almost immediately disliked WC, his pompous voice and demeanor struck me as a big fat fake….later as I realized his crimes against this country he became a much hated figure. I hope he has reaped what he deserves in the afterlife!

The snipers were not in the rice patties they were in the jungle. They would have been easy targets if they were hiding in the patties. The massive fire power by air drove them out of the jungle and into their holes. Nerve gas was really the only solution for the underground warfare. It could have been won without atomic weapons. I also believe military spending is good for the economy and it provides the basic source for your enemy to fear you and your presence. That Andrea prevents war and keeps you safe.

The Vietnamese used guerrilla warfare in the 15th century the concept is nothing new and has been studied extensively at West Point before the Vietnam War. Guerrilla warfare is defeated by destroying your enemy in a single battle. When we were struck by the Mini Tet and the Tet Offensive we should have never been taken by surprise as you should never trust your enemy. And after they struck in lieu of fighting for months on the ground we should have struck back with the wrath of air power to drive them back into China. As history has proven we were doomed to fight the shear numbers of the Vietcong on the ground. By that time the news media had already waged its war with the American people against the war. Even though the Vietcong executed thousands of civilians a massive air strike with massive collateral damage was politically suicidal. It was a winnable war if it had been fought to win.

It was during Cronkite's reign that CBS became the Communist Broadcasting Station in our family. I still have a hard time watching even entertainment on the network.

Cronkite was the reason I quit watching CBS. He was as liberal as you can get. Cronkite spent his free time with the liberals of the democrat party. He reported what they wanted him to say. He shaded everything he reported. Then CBS hired another flake, Dan Rather. If the CBS slide into the toilet wasn't enough they hired another drag on society, Katie Couric. Maybe CBS stands for "CLOWNS BROADCASTING SH-T" We all know why their ratings have tanked.

glad to see this post…

Walter 'Crocodile Tears' Cronkite was the first real case of liberal ideology infecting the nightly newscast. His peers, Chet Huntley, Robert K Smith and others pretty much kept their views to themselves while Cronkite wore his on his sleeve… he had a full blown case of BDS during the last eight years and was disseminating leftist propaganda at every turn.

We certainly do not miss the man…

Cronkite was a mental eunuch.

I was born and grew up in Rhodesia during the war against the communist terrorists.

The President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, should give Walter a few kind words for the total absence of any criticism while his thugs were chopping, raping and murdering black and white Rhodesians in the 60's and 70's.

Along with President Carter, Cronkite helped Mugabe take over what was once a beautiful, peaceful and productive corner of Africa.

Thanks for a great and truthful article.
