A United States Admiral, and he hasn't studied the Cuban Missile Crisis? Why the hell NOT? What the hell are they teaching at the military academies, other than the Press was responsible for the loss of the Vietnam War? That's right. They teach that the Press was the reason we lost Vietnam. Not the generals and admirals. Like they had nothing to do with it at all.
