Army Bro, I am in full accord. The "Rules of Engagement" imposed on us during the Vietnam War were, in my opinion, much less onerous than those imposed on our troops today.

That said, I will not view anything authored by Ken Burns, whose extreme Leftist bias infects everything he produces.

I too am a Vietnam Vet - I saw what actually happened and I've had enough of the lies spread by the Left. We won every battle on the field, and but for the machinations of people like Fonda, Kerry and Cronkite, among others, we would have enjoyed the fruits of our victory.

We were kicking ass and taking names when I was medevacked out in 1969, and I know my Brothers-in-Arms continued to do so until ordered to stand down.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces guarding our country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Well said, Navy Bro, well said.

I too will ignore Ken Burns, don't need his garbage.

I'm sad the young folks on this thread are posting mocking, "funny" comments about our War.

Eff them, they were either in diapers or not yet born, but they still giggle and mock.

Again, eff them.

God bless you,Doc! There’s many a grunt still above ground because of men like you. (Myself included.)

AMEN!

The real stories/facts come from the inside. Those who comment from the sidelines only perpetuate the falsehoods.

Thank you for your service. I reflect on that time and I think the war did slow the spread of communism in the world. Communism (or variations of it) was and still is a real threat.

What would the world have been like if it hadn't be fought?
