t was the first time people saw footage of combat in their homes, not only combat but more importantly the casualties resulting from it. Seeing American dead and wounded was a real shock, in prior wars such images were rarely released to the public.As reports from the field became increasingly accessible to citizens, public opinion began to turn against U.S. involvement, though many Americans continued to support it.
