During our 1st Cavalry Air Assaults into the Valley of Death that was South Vietnam's IA DRANG Valley of November 1965...

...major news media reporters were there to cover us.


DAN RATHER, on the other hand, holed himself up 30 miles away at the Pleiku Airstrip field hospital to ask our newly arriving wounded hero SkyTroopers what they thought of the Vietnam War now ..for WALTER CRONKITE and DON HEWITT's rolling CBS News TV cameras' benefit.


'IT SUCKS" was the answer televised back to America.


Sound a bit familiar..?
