Yes, it was none other than Walter Cronkite who it turns out later as we found out from the NV general(can't remember his name)were ready to quit the fight but ole Walter gave aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese and allowed them to keep fighting.

That was Gen. Giap. I, however, do not believe Gen. Giap's insistence that the Chinese were not with the North Vietnamese forces on the ground at LZ X-Ray in the I Drang valley, during the battle portrayed in the book, "We Were Soldiers Once, and Young", and the movie about that book, We Were Soldiers. In the book, soldiers fighting in that battle commented about hearing Mandarin Chinese spoken on the radio chatter in the enemy ranks, and helicopter pilots flying over NV positions noted that there were some men who were larger than the others. Those were the Chinese, who were larger and taller than Vietnamese men.
