Thanks to V. Vets from students at The College of the Ozarks

I thought some of you would like to see how you, too, are thought of by some
young folks in Missouri.

And we would have won the war if it wasn't for news people like Walter concrete head, we had them beat twice, they were ready to surrender and pulled back both times to let them regroup

General VoNguyen Giap
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 battle of TET. You defeated us!
We knew it, and we thought you knew it. But we were elated to notice your media was 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 same slippery slope, sponsored by the U.S. media, is currently 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,
for they will distort your grasp of reality and destroy your honor.

It brought tears to my eyes.
For those of you not familiar with College of the Ozarks, it is located just outside of Branson, MO. Students who attend work to pay for tuition and room and board. I believe it is one of only 4 such schools in the US.
I've known several CoO students and grads and they graduate as very self-sufficient people.
Thanks for the recognition!

Thank you to everyone who served, but I believe this is an urban legend.

From a Vietnam vet, thank you for posting the video link. I am familiar with the College of the Ozarks but did not know they did this video.
