FEAR THE MEDIA - A REMINDER IN HISTORY - General VoNguyen Giap

From a Viet Nam Vet -- "It's unfortunate that when I tell this to most of the folks I associate with, they think I'm just spinning the facts to suit my own perspective.   Nearly everyone believes that we lost the VN conflict.  We being the U.S. military.  As Giap says, the media and the politicians ran up the white flag for us and then spit in our eye when we came home.  Am I bitter.  You bet your ass I am and I'll never forget how
Walter Cronkite, Jane Fonda,and LBJ engaged in traitorous actions they should
have been shot for.  That's just my opinion…"

A REMINDER IN HISTORY

General VoNguyen Giap.

General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader

of the North Vietnam military. The following quote

is from his memoirs currently found in the

Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi :

'What we still don't understand is why you Americans

stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the

ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder,

just for another day or two, we were ready

to surrender! It was the same at the

battle of TET. You defeated us!

We knew it, and we thought

you knew it.

But we were elated to notice your media was

helping us.

They were causing more disruption in

America than we could in the battlefields. We

were ready to surrender. You had won!'

General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed

what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not

lost in Vietnam -- it was lost at home. The

same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media,

is currently underway. It exposes the

enormous power of a Biased Media to

cut out the heart and will of

the American public.

A truism worthy of note: ... Do not fear the enemy,
for they can take only your life.
Fear the media,
for they will destroy your honor.
