Well, it could be worse. At least the critics aren’t asking Ken Burns to show the gay contribution to the war effort.
I think most of the gay effort was in the Nazi inner circle, so showing it would be derogatory to gays.
I’m sure there’s some balance in Burns’ special to the Nazi Holocaust and the Japanese torture and execution of POWs — such as the internment of Asian-Americans and an interview with Bill O”Reilly who then talks about how US troops massacred Germans at Malmedy. :’)
