write him letter and ask him to interview you for an addendum. All him to give more opinions from conservatives. List the topics you think he omitted or glossed over. Give me the list and I’ll post it on the web sites I frequent.
The truth is that we were in the middle of the Cold War: the communists were pushing "National Liberation Wars" (outside assisted civil wars) and Vietnam was their big test case.
Kennedy decided to ramp up military assistance to see if South Vietnam could beat back the VC and NVA but the Soviet kept ramping up the military support and the NVA kept building up their numbers in the South.
We had only two choices: abandon an ally - who was strategically astride the Straits of Malacca with three major harbors - or to fight.
We fought and we fought well, even though it was a miserable hot, humid place for a war and civilians were all over the place and we had to really concentrate to avoid harming them.
While we were there, the communists started and maintained a campaign to undercut us and get our country to pull out and lose. They camouflaged it as an "antiwar" movement but it was simply a pro-enemy front with more than enough liberals and cowards adding mass to their numbers. Meanwhile, our useless Justice Department did absolutely nothing to expose these people and the traitors who were working with the enemy.
"Bitter" doesn't begin to describe my feelings about what our country did to us. And Ken Burns? An enemy sympathizer.
