Do you believe that the media is our biggest enemy?
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 Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . They had us on the ropes. If they 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. America defeated us! We knew it, and we thought they knew it. But we were elated to notice that the American media was helping us. They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to surrender. They 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 worth noting: Do not fear the enemy for they can take only your life. Fear the media for they will destroy your honor.
