Just finished watching Ken Burns’ documentary. From the history I’ve studied it was right on.

I Know one thing. I will never argue with anyone who saw combat there. No matter their opinions.

I watched the Ken Burns documentary too - but it's loaded with bias: it paints Ho Chi Minh as "patriot" instead of the vicious Moscow-sponsored criminal he really was and they further the lie that South Vietnam based cadres of the Viet Minh "begged" North Vietnam to send more support to overthrow the South.

It also uses phrases like "reuniting" Vietnam when there never was a single country of Vietnam before (Annam, Cochin China, Tonkin) and there was only momentary mention of the mass murder in the North when Comrade Ho took over.
