Watching the Vietnam War from up close

In 1963 Americas way in which they gathered
information was changed forever. People were
now watching the news on televisions rather

without analyzing the consequence that came
with that action.  Troops were invading Vietnams
civilians and torching their homes down, without
a fair warning either. How could we be so ignorant
and speak english to people that only speak their own language. Thats like teaching a deaf person how to
listen it is impossible.

America was a bullying and for the first time in life people had the advantage to see and give their own opinion about the war. We were killing innocent lives for no purpose at all.

Television finally helps end the war,
television showed American that
we were not winning the war in vietnam.
Americasn witnessed in color that an

in cold blood on a Saigon street. The truth
had finally been released, people now
realized that they were supporting a hideous
war and they wanted nothing to do with it.

living room, it was doing its job- and doing
