plot synopsis:
The Vietnam-war was the first „TV-War“in history. For the first time pictures of the war action came directly into the private houses. From sight of the US-military the war got loosed because the journalists had reported too free and so many people got an insight into the brutality of war. Against this background the rules for the Iraq-war were created: Censorship and “embedded journalists”.
