Hijacked Honor ("The Wall Within" 1988 CBS/Dan Rather fraudulent documentary on vets)

"the 3.3 million Americans who served in Vietnam is the tainted image of the Vietnam vet as scruffy, jobless, homeless, mentally unstable, addicted, suicidal, and stranded on the fringes of society. It is an image that has been reinforced by innumerable TV dramas, movies, and newscasts."

A study in the 1990s showed that the VietNam veteran was more likely to be employed, happy, stable and successful...than those who did not serve.

I will try to get a citation.

I think he was referring to John Kerry.

I see Dan did alot of exhaustive research on this story, as well.

Dan Ra^ther should be shamed off the air

Thanks to the candidacy of John "Winter Soldier" Kerry, skeptical eyes are being cast on the myths about America in Vietnam. Of course, Kerry himself was a prime proponent and inventor of those myths, assisted by a number of ne'er-do-wells who took out their distaste for the military life, and by a media loving sensationalism, hating America, and embracing the aggressive anti-tradition movement of the 1960s.

It would be doubly sweet if Kerry's failed candidacy brought enough notice to the old myths, in the age of a more aggressive, skeptical new media, to smash them forever.

Look for Rathers name in the index of the book "Stolen Valor" and read about his own military "service". He was medically unfit to serve in the Marine Corps in 1954 and he's been mentally unfit to serve as a reporter since the day he was born.

I googled "the wall within" and this is what a vets site linked to after a short reference to the Rather program..This exhaustive article's author died in Iraq covering the war...He was a great loss to journalism in America.

16 yearold SEAL?????

My thought exactly. This killer must have gone straight from Wueblo to SEAL.

Oops, I was in a hurry?

Someone should post Dan Rather's photo which is on page 336 of "Stolen Valor." The photo would make a good mug shot if Rather were arrested for his involvment in "memogate."

Rather continues now with "memogate", his pattern of spreading lies and false information about men who served in our military honorably.

I have read Mr. Burkett's book and it is a great resource to counter all of the phony veterans that the media allways drag out to claim that they were baby killers.
