I didn't really get that from the series so far. One of the soldiers they covered was a kid named Mogie Crocker. They went to great length to show his patriotism and his willingness to serve his country.also, in episode 4, a reporter was quoted as saying that the men he saw in Vietnam were every bit as brave as the so-called Greatest Generation.

All in all, I'd say LBJ and McNamara have borne the brunt of the scorn. But that could also be my personal point of view being confirmed.

True, but you knew right from the beginning, the way it was presented, he was doomed.
I also didn't like the way they strung his mother along; reliving all that heartache and horror.
If that were me and my mother, I'd come back from the dead and kick Burns' @ss.
