How did the mainstream press present the Vietnam War?

Two things: 1. The war was worse than the US was letting on. 2. The military draft was influencing the media back home.

After Vietnam, the press was highly restricted; "embedded" was the new term for them.

The Vietnam War was the first war to be televised to the public. So America saw everything that was going on in Vietnam and wanted to pull out of the war.

We were losing. It was a total stalemate and the mainstream American public finally put pressure on the politicians to end it.

The number of ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) wounded in the Vietnam War was 1,169,763. The number of NVA/VC (North Vietnamese Army/Viet Cong) wounded in the Vietnam War was 600,000 according to information provided by North Vietnam in a press release to Agence France Presse (AFP) on April 3, 1995.

what makes Vietnam war dangerous is because Vietnam people have nasty weapons like explosively grenades that explode more than 20 yards away or remote controlled grenades that when you throw it it doesn't explode but when you press a button of it it will explode into your face

Yes , the venerable M60 Patton tank was present in a number of enemy engagements during the Vietnam conflict .

Because VIETNAM sidetracked Johnson's REAL INTEREST..."His Great Society!"

The future, (the present), would be altered. Which would apply to "what if" for any event of the past.

Research: The Vietnam War Service Index, and The American War Library. In June of that year there were 740 Advisors. The total number of US Military present in country at that time was considerably higher.

No, the Vietnam War was in Vietnam

If he was a casualty, his name will be on the wall. If he's still present, ask him.

The War in Afghanistan from 2001-Present. (the issues were Islamic Fundamentalism and support of terrorism) The Cold War was entirely communism vs. free enterprise. The Korean War was fought by the UN against the extension of Chinese Communism. The Vietnam War was also a proxy war, with the North supported by the USSR.

With North Vietnam (not Vietnam; Vietnam was created after the war). No, the US did not win the war.

Yes. Vietnam was a French colony. They lost a Vietnam War and were thrown out of Vietnam before America tried to win a war in Vietnam. America also lost a Vietnam War.

Q who was the victor of the Vietnam war? A I have no idea who won the Vietnam war!!!!

The Vietnam War ended in 1975.

The Vietnamese lived in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

Vietnam War is a civil war because it was North Vietnam vs South Vietnam.

There was resistance to the Vietnam War, draft resisters and evaders before Kent State, but the anti-war protestors went into high gear when the Army National Guard started shooting up college campuses. The press, the American youth and Vietnam Veterans united in majority opposition to the war.

It is not really "who ended the Vietnam war?" but "how did the Vietnam war end?" in which case i do not have the answer too.

The Vietnam war was NOT in Australia. It happened in Vietnam. Life in Australia did not change much due to the Vietnam war.

the war between Vietnam and the USA the winner was Vietnam

The Korean War came after the Vietnam War.

North Vietnam stopped the Vietnam War; by winning it.

Freedom of the press! Plus the newsmedia wanted to utilize their newly invented technology of cameras, filming techniques, etc.

See the website on "Vietnam". But be advised, there was NO "North Vietnam" after the war ended...Just VIETNAM.

It is actually ARVN meaning Army of the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War.

Few to none: The War of 1812 lasted only two years; Vietnam lasted over a decade. The US defeated Britain, the US lost the war of communist aggression in Vietnam. the closest war to Vietnam would be the US Civil War: 1. Both the Civil War & Vietnam War were un-declared wars. 2. Both wars were fought between North & South. 3. Both wars had the first military draft and the last military draft. 4…

The US was at war with North Vietnam (informally-not with documents signed/declaration of war).

Robin Williams as a DJ on Armed Forces Radio in Vietnam, "Good morning Vietnam." PBS' David Lamb's book, "Vietnam, Now - A Reporter Returns," has a great deal of information about the inside workings of the press during the Vietnam War. CBS reporter Morley Safer also wrote a book about Vietnam called "Flashbacks - On Returning to Vietnam." Although Safer spends more time talking about his trip than he does recalling the way things were…

The Vietnam War was a "limited war"; limited to conventional weapons only (nukes not allowed). It was fought as both a guerrilla war in South Vietnam and as a conventional war against North Vietnam. Like the US Civil War of the 1860s, the Vietnam War of the 1960s was an un-declared war.
