The controversy is related to the defeat of the U. S. Army. According to many detractors, the role played by the media was responsible for the defeat, putting the U. S. Army as the villain in the event.

Explanation:

Vietnam War stands out as the most emblematic conflict of the Cold War period and marks one of the most humiliating chapters in American military history. Public opinion and the press reaction about the American involvement in another conflict that was not a big concern created rage and outrage. Without the necessary support at home and the general conception that they were villain contributed, according to many detractors, with the humiliating defeat.
