Mind you, I was a mere "sprout" when Vietnam really got going, but I was watching TV & reading newspapers and remember the constant patriotic spin like we are witnessing today in the early years. The snapshot is the weekly death toll counts on Huntley/Brinkley...we always had waaay less then the bad guys.

The one thing I am seeing so much is the double-speak of Vietnam taken to a whole new level...and it didn't work then and it won't now. Again, this regime is too smart by half and will only desert this policy when they can find a scapegoat to palm it off on.

I'm certain there's some think-tank deep inside the Pentagon or Enterprise Institute coming up with some "exit" strategy that will look identical to "Peace With Honor" or the even more disasterous "Vietnmazation".

This regime knows they're stuck deep, thus trying to spin the message...and something even more telling, the embargo of coverage of returning bodies to Dover. They wouldn't do that if it wasn't getting "in the way of an on-going operation". I feel so frustrated.
