Yes, I agree.

It highlighted our atrocities and left out the North Vietnamese atrocities.

It cast doubt on America’s intentions and showed the North Viets as heroes.
Sickening.

How can you say that?

They covered the killing fields outside Hue, and they certainly were up front about fighting a guerilla war. The VC nor the NVA were held up as above atrocities.

"It highlighted our atrocities and left out the North Vietnamese atrocities."

Interesting I watched the entire series and I remember learning that Lê Duẩn rounded up school teachers political adversaries and citizens who protested and imprisoned or shot them.

I also learned how the Viet Cong and the NVA would capture and then torture and dismember our troops and the RVN troops and they would do the same to anyone in the villages and cities who aided American forces when they captured a town or city.
