I have to admit that that movie from Brian Keath has not imprinted itself in my memory -- most likely for good reason. My memory of 1969 (or more specifically the late 60's in general) was having dinner and seeing images like these on the screen.
Later in the war is was more common for the reporters to be wearing flak vests and helmets. For some reason I specifically remember Dan Rather on screen.
Being only 6 in 1969, aside from family events, seeing the war on TV is one of my clearest memories.
