Answer 1

Answer: Support for the war fell due to the graphic videos of fighting and wounded servicemen.

Answer 2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Vietnam was the first and probably the last war to be fought on TV. The daily coverage which was extensive, graphic and shocking, had a profound effect on American public opinion. The coverage of events such as the Tet offensive, and the photographs taken at the My Lai massacre increasingly turned American public opinion against the war.
