Because our homeland and very survival are once more at stake, the American people can't afford to treat this new war against terrorism like they did Vietnam.
War is the ultimate reality-based horror show.
Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.
The old saying that war is a racket has taken on an even more shameful meaning.
What we need to do is follow the axiom of World War II which was 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' and the media has really got to follow that.
We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
