If we had taken the Goldwater approach to Vietnam we would have won. By all standards of warfare we actually did win Vietnam. What happened is we lost the confidence to fight and just quit. This is due to the fact that the media had way to much influence and they really shouldn't have even been there. You can apply that same standard to this current conflict. Get the media out! We need to bring back WW2 policy regarding the free movement of media in warzones.
Why do you want to fight a war for freedom if you won't let your own citizens have freedom? The people of the USA need to know how the war is going, military secrecy is rarely a good thing. It's the people's choice about whether to stay in the war, and it's the media's job to report to the public about what is going on.
