Lai and the contents of the Pentagon Papers
have on the American public?

information leaked that troops were taking
matters into their own hands against the
Vietnamese people.
2. Trust in the government plummeted when

being handled and whether they were being
lied to
3. They better understood the brutality of the
communists and continued to support the
war.
4. They supported the bombing campaigns
against Cambodia, Laos and China.
