At the beginning of the Vietnam War, CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite supported it and believed whatever the president said about how we were winning. But after several trips to Vietnam, and especially after the Tet Offensive, it became clear to him that the US was not winning, nor could it win. He began to speak out against the war. He supported an honorable exit strategy, in which US involvement in Vietnam would end and US troops would come home.
