Ken Burns and Viet Nam
Anyone else watching this series on PBS?
I was not there but I remember all the stuff that happened stateside and how our gummint lied to us. The series presents both American sides and North Viet Nam and Viet Cong sides. Pretty dramatic if you lived through it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ola0thWqtnM

I am not watching the Viet Nam special. It still seems too recent to be history.
Wishing you peace, Mike.

Some things you don't want to go through again.

I'm planning to binge watch it in the near future. Ken Burns is among the best at what he does and the subject matter is very timely for us today.

Our leaders certainly didn't learn many lessons from that war.
