There is an image of the Vietnam Vets being pot smoking baby killers, and the image of a brave and heroic Jessica Lynch and her rescuers was supposed to cover that up.

Do you even fathom the level of conspiracy you're too scared to fully name? You're beating around the bush and trying to imply that the stories released by the MEDIA were controlled by the DOD? Do you honestly believe that the DOD is able to control media outlets in that fashion?
Go back and check the events again my friend. Once again, you'll find that the MEDIA reported the stories of Lynch's suppossed heroics. While it's true that perhaps the DOD wasn't quick to refute the story, it's absurd to me that you think that story was a plant of some sort. Ever wonder why the initial story of the ambush didn't include any statements from official sources?
Do you for one solitary second beleive that it's possible that more than one media source caught wind of the story and, immediately understanding its story book potential particularly amongst it's readers employed shitty journalism to over exaggerate a story they couldn't defend for the sole sake of selling newspapers! In a capitalist, money driven society! God forbid! That could NEVER happen!
Do you think it possible that there could be wrong doing in this world that ISN'T the result of a calculated U.S. government plot?
As for your observation about the connection to Vietnam, I think in some ways you're probably correct, but in the wrong context. It's true that Vietnam Vets have historically been portrayed in a shitty light particularly in Hollywood. And I'm absolutely positive that there WAS a concerted effort to demonstrate that U.S. soldiers for the most part are a pretty professional, well trained bunch. That's why they imbeded journalists. To suggest that the DOD went so far as to control media outlets and publish fake stories is sheer paranoia on your part.
**EDIT** CHIMP, Thank you for making me laugh. Sometimes I forget and start to take you seriously.
