Did they say anything about the traitorous john kerry and how he lost the war for us or his plaque of thanks that is in the Vietnam war museum?
POS PBS
Now why, why I ask would you even consider wathcing?
Its good toknow what the enem.......nah never mind I know them like the back of my hand and did not watch.
The commercials for the program pissed me off I knew exactly what they were going to portray.
Yeah, they pointed out what Kerry did, sandwiched between glowing accounts of how incredibly articulate he was.
The bill him as hero of the anti-war left. They don’t explain that going to Pairs and interjecting himself in the negotiations was tears. They show his speech before congressional committee and if you’re against the war, he is your hero. They did find in about 45 seconds not emphasizing how she elected moral and that she was by definition a traitor.
I generally liked the series. The battles for some hills was described by some who were there and heroic acts described in detail. It shows a lot of N and long speakers, but found it interesting. Good portrayal of Tet as a major enemy loss despite how the media portrayed it here.. good detail on the evacuation.
I saw the firsts series and i liked this one better because of more testimony on both sides. Good coverage of the French period more detail than the first series. All in all, watch both series and I think you have a thorough picture. Maybe a book someone here can recommend and that’s your VN dosage for awhile.
Stream for free on PBS before they take it down.
Those who wonder what Burns did well other than Vivil War, watch Jazz and Baseball.
Kerry is mentioned...but they left the traitorous parts out.
