You're seeing Walter Cronkite there give you that news and you're watching these guys in foxholes and you're seeing the shooting and you're seeing this chaos.
And then also the media.
I think this is the first time where the media realizes they have not they're not just a pillar as a check on government.
They realize at this point that they actually have power to influence events and policy.
So how they report from Vietnam, very different from how reporters, even in Korea, but let's say World War II, very different from how reporters reported on that war.
And now I think in Vietnam, you have these guys in Saigon, and they realize and they're staying at these amazing hotels, and they're partying it up at night, and some of them are going to the outskirts of town.
So it looks like they're out in the rice paddies or whatever, and then they're going back to their hotel for drinks.
But they realize during this time that they can influence policy.
And so that's what we see with the Tet Offensive.
We see that as a complete tactical win for the United States, but it becomes a loss for us, a huge strategic loss for us because of the way that it's reported.
And the media is involved in that.
So they didn't know it before.
What was the issue?
The media distorted what was going on?
Yeah, the media distorted what was going on and talked about this huge victory for the NBA and for North Vietnam.
And it wasn't
really.
But it was when they reported it that way.
And then we see more of America turning against this war and policy shifts and more people shipped into Vietnam.
So it's a, I mean, the whole thing is so sad.
