Oh, here's something that was circulating on the POW network in December. It's a cut-and-paste from the POW I know best:
Quote:
I am sending the following for a chuckle as to how we as POW's felt about the "liberal" press who through individual noteriety showed up at the POW camps in North Vietnam and were used for propaganda purposes against us. This issue has been bantered across the POW net in recent weeks and I thought you might like to see how "impassionate" some of my jailmates are:
What some one said about Walter Cronkite regarding his visit to a POW camp in NVN:
"far from a "sob" or a "forked tongue," he stood up for the principles he
believed in and always supported the american fighting man, if not the
administration. too bad we don't have more of his ilk on major tv networks
today---vice the talking- heads who have succumbed to headlines, ratings,
and money."
A POw friend's response. This particular POW was forced to see Cronkite in Hanoi in early 1969:
>
"He is the SOB who said during the TET offensive that the war was lost . The
only thing that he ever did was set a bad example and create the likes of
Rather, Jennings, Arnett etc. He was a great ally to the gook propaganda
machine and one of the biggest contributers to the fallacy that we were losing
the war militarily. If he is your media hero, fine , you can have him to
yourself--------To me he is a selfserving low life scumsucking liberal
untruthful son of a mangy bitch. He is your hero NOT mine. Sorry that I cannot make it
clearer. GB and Happy New Year" [note: "GB" is the usual sign off that was tapped thru the walls... means simply, "God Bless"]. We are indeed a quiet, placid lot...!
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
