Press Briefings and Lying Liars

It's been a few years since the daily press briefings on Vietnam used to report 100,000 Vietcong killed daily and ten American service men dead, and every day another victory even as the daily battles moved ominously closer to Saigon. It was harder then to check what happened in a land far away. It's not so hard to see what happens on the Mall.

Do you hear a second audio feed on top of this? That starts with "Merry Christmas", a bout half way in?

That was amazing, no? And not in a good way.

And also, just from a mental health standpoint...guys, if you're this angry on Day 2? You're never gonna make it to July. (Not that that's a bad thing.)
