Unfortunately this is a good time for the leftists to push the film. It’s been over 30 years since we were active in Viet Nam. The average age in the US is about 35.5 years – nearly half the population wasn’t even alive during the Viet Nam War, and many were too young to actually remember much about it. All of their information comes from our “esteemed” media – Hollywood and the evening news. The young and impressionable will associate Viet Nam with Afghanistan and Iraq.

I hope it doesn’t become a case of “Here We Go Again”.

Good points. This is an information war, just like the one 35 years ago. The other guys still have the NY Times as a reliable propaganda machine, but we have some new tools that weren't available back then. Ask John Kerry whether having control of the old media is enough to guarantee that your side of the story is believed...
