This reminds me so much of Vietnam.

It [the war in Vietnam] poisons everything. It has disrupted the economy, envenomed our politics, hurt the alliance, divided our people, and now it is interfering with this critical question of the arms race.

We don't want to leave in the wrong way like we did in Vietnam.

We made a huge mistake trying to restrict press coverage in the first Gulf War because of our Vietnam mentality. We had a 1st Armored Division tank battle that was just incredible, perhaps the biggest armored battle ever, but not a single image was reported or documented for history by the press. I hope we don't make that mistake again.

I had a lot of wonderful experiences. [There were] a lot of protests then. It was the Vietnam War. That gave us a lot of experience as young journalists.

I knew Maggie since way back, when she was touring during the Vietnam war.
