This is the documentary special I spoke of in previous posts. It is narrated by Jack Smith (2/7, ALBANY) and has to be the best Vietnam documentary I have seen to date.

The episode indicated in this link was but one in a six-hour series. I'm hoping TLC will air the whole thing. Either way, it's certainly worth a look for anyone interested in an accurate report of what happened and at the same time honoring the men who fought. Something you won't see in the mainstram media these days.

If the documentary is even close to the article that Smith wrote for The Saturday Evening
Post soon after his return...it probably shouldn't be watched by kids under age 12
(or there-about).
When I read that article here on freerepublic a few years ago, it was so intense
I got a visceral response.
Smith didn't shade his account one way or the other...he just told the facts
of how aweful his experience had been.
(And he isn't unpatriotic or warped by the experience...he attends
the reunions, according to our own ALOHA RONNIE.)
