American Power · What Happens If NATO Falls Apart? · 15 Jul 2026 podcast

No, no, no.

Yeah, they were both goes and fights in Japan or something.

Yeah.

And just to comment on how that narrative or how the government's narrative, you know, the federal government's narrative regarding a war, you know, how it advertises that to its people, how it presents that to its people has changed.

Like I mentioned, we did used to be a much more closed society, right?

Like the access to media of a war was restricted to a very specific subset of people.

So, you know, when you're watching the,

optimistic newsreels during World War II, you're getting a very specific channel of information, right?

That was still real footage.

It was still reporting on things that were happening in the war.

You talk about Vietnam and, you know, that was a sort of broadening of the media landscape.

All of a sudden there's television cameras, there's more portable, you know, film cameras could be over the shoulder.

All of a sudden during Vietnam, people were shooting on, I believe, CP-16s.

And all of a sudden you could, you know, there was way more access to footage of violence.

And one of the major media narratives,

that the mainstream media and the government enforced after that was that you don't see body bags on television.

Like they essentially the public narrative around Vietnam was really negative, partially because we had more access than we had in previous wars.

And but again, it was a matter of like how open was our media landscape.

And I think what you're seeing now is very different from those two pinpoints in time, because, A, like I've mentioned many times on this show, you know, we harder to tell, you know, like what's happening in Gaza.

Right.
