Every night on TV we saw the war on the evening news ( notice you see nothing about our current war. That is no mistake). The reporters would show battles and men being shot. In 1968 it felt like the whole world was on fire. There were race riots, riots at the Democratic convention, and the war. The war was never a declared war by Congress and the largest draft in United States history took place in 1968.

Was media a cause to why America pulled out troops from Vietnam?

Media would definitely be a reason that the country had a negative point of view of many events that took place in Vietnam. The reasons for pulling out of Vietnam tie to our troops being put into a dangerous situation for an extended period of time and the number of casualties being so high. There were nearly 17,000 KIA during 1968 alone and the US was involved in the war for 10 years. I have seen information that states Nixon pulled the troops due to the Vietnamese winning the war, but that could be the opinion of the author.
