The Exxon branding is striking.

@scootermom1791

History sure has a way of repeating itself doesn't it? This war was in October back then just like now. 😢

@dfb1976

Would be great to have all reports of 73 and 67 war

@jpm1477

Love the Exxon advert while reporting the demise of thousands of people. Smh

@LPP8189

I miss Tom Brokaw, he was a great reporter

@devildoll9929

Forgive my ignorance: does anyone know how long it took for a reporter in Israel or somewhere equally distant to get his video back to NBC for broadcast in 1973? Was it instantaneous? How did they do it?

@vluxmea

How very phenomenal when YOU are 100 yrs old and can conjure up the same MAGIC like half a century ago, please accept my respect!

@nbntelevision1

Please have your interns uploading these videos get the aspect ratio right when they do. It’s not hard.

@juanpablosaenz9037

This war was brought to you by Exxon. Corporations were more open and honest in the 70's.

@EffySalcedo

Wow he looks soo young😮

@flashflame4952

I remember watching this live...War never accomplishes anything except death, destruction and people killed, maimed, etc.

@rupvictoria3017

I read "Blackhawk Down" before I saw the movie, and there was a section in the back about the political ramifications. Someone from the US State Department related a story of an older Somali woman being asked about the ongoing conflict. "Do you want peace?" "Oh, yes, I pray for it every night." "Would you consider sharing power with your enemies to get peace?" "Oh no, I'd rather die first!" The official explained that this attitude, if pervasive, was going to make it hard to find lasting peace any time soon. Israel/Palestine strikes me as being similar. Maybe the US isn’t far behind.
