    He basically called the CIA a propaganda machine, which is relevant even to this day.

      Every once and awhile if u listen real close they let tge truth and facts slip. He prolly got a ass chewing when he was done. Carl wtf? U was not supposed to let the truth out. Just like when urr coworker called Robert Macnamaras plan to enlist retards for cannon fodder, Macnamaras dummies. Lmfao. It's so cute to hear ppl say That was then, they don't lie about things now. Ok. U keep thinking that folks. We had no place in Vietnam where my uncle served and no place in last 2 wars after that. Look how we left Afghanistan. I recall looking 5 hours for a dam radio in the moutains of Bridgeport CA at the USMC moutains warfare training center. That was predeployment training we couldn't leave a radio. But we left the enemy so much gear. Let's go Brandon. Everywhere he goes he hears Fuk JB and smiles saying Dam I am really something special, everyone wants to Fuk me. Lmfao.

    I was asked who was the reporter. It was Clete Roberts who'd covered WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He also played a reporter in the TV show MASH. In fact, he ends that series with a really moving monologue. When I met him, he was working at LA PBS outlet, KCET and we hit it off. He agreed to do this for nothing. The director was Ian Masters who was and still is a journalist, catch his Background Briefing podcast, who produced documentaries and wrote screenplays. Our goal was to produce a documentary about war reporters. I tried to sell it for years to no avail. Our batch of interviews just sat in a box. I finally decided to pull them out and post them on RUclips. I'm glad to see that people are watching.

      Thank you very much for posting these valuable interviews for the benefit of the public. As a former journalist myself, I find these interviews are filling the gaps of missing context and disinformation in the many wars we have been following in the world, especially in Southern Africa.

    Reporter: Do you think Americans could be good-winked like Vietnam?
    CIA: Absolutely! Have you heard of Afghanistan….
    Reporter: What?
    CIA: We proudly predict that the fallout in 2021 will be even bigger than the BS in Saigon….
    Reporter: What?
    CIA: You won’t be around to see it… but Afghanistan is a bop!

      It was March 1983 during the Vietnam War Reconsidered conference at the University of Southern California (USC) a few months after the 10th anniversary of the agreement to end the War. The interviews were conducted during the conference that attracted journalists, diplomats, former CIA officers, US military personnel and others who came to LA to discuss their experiences and assessments about the War.
