Lesson #1:
Viet Nam was the last time the DOD allowed the media to cover combat action. Now, the media is briefed by military brass. During the Viet Nam war about 250 media people were killed while covering the action.
On the homefront, anti-war demonstrations and veterans against the war don't get much media coverage.

Exactly why I believe Congress sees its best interest being to maintain the "us vs. them" mentality that pervades politics today. IF the people ever stood back and realized both parties pretty much suck they'd be run out of DC on a rail and the country would be the better for it.

It's their greatest fear, and why the MSM's work overtime on mind control.
