This might have happened. But the internet was still in its infancy, with only MSM having capabilities to stream live for the masses. Social media was limited to forums, BBS, news groups and similar, and they were really a niche.
Seeing all the raw footage of wartorn places on sites like Instagram and TikTok today, and even just sharing them in group chats is a whole new angle that wasn't there before.
They touted the first Iraq war as the first fully televised war.
The MIC were so proud.
Except, unlike Vietnam, the media wasn't able to to show our dead when they were returned home. So, not fully televised.
Very excellent point, perhaps the best point.
I thought Vietnam claimed that credit.
Dude I don't make the metrics, all I know is that Iraq was in HD, or something. The whole war was very legal, very cool.
