Steve Kroft on serving in Vietnam

Journalist Steve Kroft tells the story of being drafted into the Vietnam War and how his experiences reporting on the war shaped his career:

"I feel much the same way that Andy Rooney felt about his experience at 'Stars and Stripes' during the war. It was a horrible situation. You saw people killed. I lost a number of friends. But I was doing what I loved and covering really exciting things and being in the middle of the action.”

Watch Steve Kroft’s full interview, where he discusses his career from his early days in local news to his 60 Minutes interviews with world leaders.
