I was a kid during Vietnam, and missed some of the larger themes I am sure, but death was on the news every damn day - from Buddhists setting themselves on fire in protest, to actual footage from in-country battles - we saw everything. Including the bodies coming home.<BR/><BR/>Today's media seem to be harboring this administration; even someone like Bob Woodward ends up shilling for them. I am at a complete loss for words over the whole thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
