Fact stories that are not bloody or sensational just don't sell. A major portion of the Viet Nam news failure lies with editors at home. A comparison of the extent and depth of news coverage of Luci Johnson's wedding or Senator Robert Kennedy's every move with that afforded the war effort really makes me wonder...

Even ministers began to squabble with their fellow prisoners bout food shares and steal from communal supplies. Forgetting the lesson of the Good Samaritan, missionaries with families bluntly refused to share any portion of their living area with others who needed space. One preacher went so far as to contend that he needed extra room "in which I can have quiet to think out sermons."
