[QUOTE="Man_of_the_Century:428145"]70% of all that footage you are talking about was released after the war. Most war footage is. The American public doesn't want to see coffins with flags covering them. The American public doesn't want to see thier fellow countrymen being killed. The media gives the viewer what they want to see. In the 60's, you had (taking an estimated guess here) 3 national stations broadcasting the war and 3-5 smaller local stations all broadcasting the war coverage in any given area of the country. The thing was, they were broadcasting the same bit of news. Today, you have (each with thier own correspondant) AP, CNN, ABC, NBC, FOX News... Just to name a few. There's also all the free lance reporters feeding stories to anyone that'll buy one. Also understand that the Vietnam war was a bigger war. There was more fighting and it was a lot longer than Iraq. [QUOTE]Why does the American public still no nothing about what's going on over there?[/QUOTE] Hate to tell ya, but very few people understood why we were in Vietnam until years after the war was over.[/QUOTE]
