Steve Kroft on reporting for Stars and Stripes in Vietnam
In this web exclusive, former "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft talks with CBS News national security correspondent David Martin about his start in journalism as a reporter for Stars and Stripes, the Pentagon's newspaper for members of the military, and how his early days covering the war in Vietnam influenced his career at CBS.

CBS News national defense correspondent David Martin reports on fears that a source of independent news for the military could be turned into what the paper's former ombudsman (who was fired after writing a column critical of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth) calls "a public affairs propaganda machine."
