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

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?

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

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!

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

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

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.

The irony of the proudly displayed Exxon placard in the dead center of viewing sightline is gobsmacking. 🤦‍♀️🙄🤔

50 years later, almost to the day, it happened again.

Frankly i was more focused on girls in high school in 1973.

In the number of damage this is already worse.

In yom Kipur war most deaths were soldiers, it was army vs army.
Here at least half are simply civilians.
