The Vietnam War was fought with greater public access to information than any other

war in our past. It also grew to be one of the most unpopular war efforts as well! How are these
two facts related? Should the public be allowed that much access?

Answer:

The protest songs, stories, and poems that were widely published.

The fact that the war was televised and people could see for themselves what was happening.

Answer:

These two factors can be related as compared to many previous wars, the Vietnam War was highly publicized and filmed in the form of news footage for many Americans to see, and many of these scenes and images were extremely gruesome and cruel. This further led to public disapproval of the war and US intervention which led to the US to pull out of the war eventually. The public should be allowed this much access as this gives us better insight on how the progress of the war is goin and gives us more knowledge about how the military conducts it's operations.
