The first bombs begin to fall on Baghdad. Caught live on ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. As with all newscasts of the event, no live video was available at that time. Date: 1/16/91.

I was a teen working in the family restaurant during the Gulf War. My 2nd cousin is a Vietnam war vet and he was totally blown away by what we could do. We were watching some footage and the reporter told the audience what the target was and how the guided bomb would hit the front door. My cousin's jaw hit the floor when the bomb actually went through the front door. He said, "I thought the bomb might hit the ground a few yards away and tumble in like they sometimes did when I was in Vietnam. But that fucking thing went right through the door! Knock knock motherfuckers!"

This country was built on left-wing journalism. The fourth estate is part of the balance of power. Jacob Riis - the original muckraker, put the story of the poor into the living rooms of middle-class voters. Edward R Murrow - criticized McCarthyism and reestablished an America that wasn't a spy state. Walter Cronkite - helped get us out of Vietnam. Woodward and Bernstein - brought down Nixon and his criminal White House. Seymore Hersh - broke the story about the Mi Lai Massacre and Mordicai Vanunu and Israel's nuke program. Without left-wing journalism, center-right politics in America will not survive and we may find ourselves in an unsustainable, undemocratic fascist state, or with a backlash ending with left-wing extremism.

thelakersforlife I am now 49 and remember this like it was yesterday
I remember watching this as a kid, 9 years old in Vancouver Canada, staying up late with my parents, watching on a Color TV not a whole lot bigger than one of todays tablets. Those were more or less happy days, life was simple straightforward, there was very little daily bullshit in our lives. Even the news was still news, straightforward and to the point with no sensationalistic propaganda

I was driving on the port that night and saw a puff of smoke and then the sirens went off, I hauled ass back to my ops station and was told to get in my mopp gear ..... We knew it was happening at that point..... Very scary and I still think about those nights in Saudi all these years later.
