America owed its military renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s to Vietnam. Veterans like Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Grey, Charles Krulak, and Wesley Clark returned home angry and ashamed at their defeat and rebuilt all-volunteer, professional armed forces from the ground up.

Amerika verdankte seine militärische Renaissance in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren Vietnam. Veteranen wie Norman Schwartzkopf, Colin Powell, Alfred Gray, Charles Krulak und Wesley Clark kehrten wütend und beschämt nach ihrer Niederlage nach Hause zurück und bauten freiwillige, professionelle Streitkräfte von Grund auf auf.

Back in the 1980s, the 'News of the World' had specialised in digging into the privacy of criminals. In the 1990s, enriched by the excavation of Princess Diana's volatile life, they had widened their work to mine the activities of any celebrity, any public figure.
