"To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To say that we are mired in a bloody stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory conclusion."

Walter Cronkite, Feb. 27 1968, CBS special on the Vietnam War.

Although '68 was the worst year for US fatalities, the US lost close to 22,000 more servicemen after Cronkite's statement.
