General  Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military.  The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war  memorial in Hanoi:                                           

'What  we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi.  You had us on the ropes. If you had pressed us a little harder, just for  another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battles  of TET. You defeated us! We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were  elated to notice your media was definitely helping us. They were causing more  disruption in America than we could in the battlefields. We were ready to  surrender. You had won!'                                               

General  Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The  Vietnam war was not lost in   Vietnam -- it was lost at home. The  exact same slippery slope, sponsored by the US  media, is currently well  underway. It exposes the enormous power of a biased media to cut out the  heart and will of the American public.           

A truism worthy  of note: Do not fear the enemy, for they can take only your life.  Fear  the media far more, for they will destroy your honour.
