7:16 Afterwards, John Del Vecchio takes over moderation and analyzes myths that came out of Vietnam, including wrong assumptions about Ho Chi Minh. Next, he analyzes the myth that the U.S. military lost the war, and provides a timeline of the major wins and losses in the Vietnam War including the Tet offensive, the massacre of civilians in Hue, the battle of Khe Sahn, and the fight for the Ho Chi Minh trail and the social and political turmoil that led to the U.S. withdrawing from Vietnam. ;
17:33 Following this portion, W.D. Ehrhart, author of Vietnam-Perkasie. Ehrhart reads a poem called, “The Relative Thing”.
