Autism of Wars, or Autistic War
During the 8 years officers, or, almost official, from the war in Vietnam, or Vietnam, we hear and saw a succession of narratives and changes in the War Journalistic Covering Policy.
Soon the Pentagon, interested in the public image, public opinion, and the strategic objectives of that conflict, was gradually evolving into a policy of controlling information, precisely, when people and citizens in the civilized and western world were making social movements on the streets of World, with several agendas, such as: Rockn Roll Agenda, Hippies Agenda, Black Rights Agenda, Women's Rights Agenda, Socialist Agenda, and Cold War Agenda.
It was the sixties, we didn't even know what would happen in the following years, great facts and ephemeris: space conquest, space race between the USSR and the USA; Cuban Revolution; Missile crisis in Cuba and Turkey; Military Revolutions and Left and Right Dictatorships in: Salazar in Portugal; Franco in Spain; Czechoslovakia invasion; Korea War; Military Dictatorship in Brazil; Military Dictatorship in Chile; Military Dictatorship in Argentina; Yom Kippur, War in Israel; Number one oil crisis; Cultural Revolution in China; Creation of the Warsaw Pact and NATO; Left Revolutionary Guerrilla Movements in Mexico, Chiapas; in Colombia; in Brazil; in Venezuela; in Angola; in Mozambique; Apartheid in South Africa; Rock Festival in Woodstock; Many atomic tests in the atmosphere, underground and oceanic; Racial distension in the USA.
The era of the war of dispute for public opinion began, where communication theorists and some political scientists mistakenly began theorizing about the fourth power attributed to the media, especially newspapers, and television; The Washington Post newspaper played a protagonist role in the largest political scandal in US political history, the party spy scandal against the Democratic Party at the Watergate Hotel; And the television was first used for the first time as a strategy in the election campaign between candidates John Fritzgerald Kennedy and Richard Millas Nixon to the Presidency of the USA, with live debates between the two candidates, and with a victory for less than 0, 5% in favor of Kennedy in the elections of delegates with is constitutional in the USA.
After the images of My Lai's massacre in Southeast Asia, the raw images of public square executions, the treatment given to vietcong soldiers by the USA never recognized with soldiers status were treated as a guerrilla group; The daily public pressures and demonstrations began on the streets and squares of the USA, society began to oppose the goals of war in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, with the material supports of China and the USSR to Vietcongs.
So the narrative war was being fought in the American population and media, and the government was losing, it seems that never in the history of humanity the long -term strategic objectives established in conflicts are perceived in the same way: by politicians, the military and the population; And the media shutters up in such a way that the headbreaker is getting more and more like the magic cube toy, it looks like a chess game, and it looks like a mix of humanitarian, sanitary, vanity and velidade issues. , the language of the media is never neutral, and explores isolated facts here and there, as an explosion in a school, a lost battle or earn of small importance of general repercussion, the statistics on one side of the war never close with the numbers of Another side of the opponent, they seem two separate wars, and several, each announcing and exaggerating the enemy's cruelty reports, and announcing extraordinary victories, the headlines focus on the excellence of weapon technology, the power of military vehicle engines , the number of ammunition and pumps, rockets, soldiers, territories achievements, it seems that everything goes from deciding quickly in a few days, after A few decades of closed conflicts everything becomes the raw reality of errors, the smallest impotence and importance of weapons, tactical errors are gradually revealed, defeats are exposed, exaggerations, medical, psychiatric sequelae, material destruction, real estate, real estate destruction Destruction of infrastructure, the disorder of the economy, the destruction of families, the generation of orphans, physically mutilated, finally we forget that we were deceived in the war of numbers and the war of true facts, and will never come out of the bottom of the crater of Lies that is a true war.
