I had many friends and relatives in the War. I graduated high school as Nixon ended it.

I’m skeptical of PBS.

Was the documentary historically accurate?

18 hours. Couldn’t it be done in half the time? Hope he still doesn’t hate Mexicans.

Bet Burns will be much more harsh on Nixon than LBJ.

As a preliminary to the series the History of Vietnam and the French was accurate as was the story of Ho Chi Minh but alot was left out, the interspersing of future stories of U.S. servicemen was a bit disconcerting and interrupted the flow of the narrative. As a sidebar the Annamites [as the French called the Vietnamese] served in trenchs beside the French and worked in French factories during WWI there is a long and interesting history between the two Countries other than what was presented tonight.I know that not everything can be included but it seems like there was quit a bit of skipping around. I will try and watch the next part but if it heads down the PC path forget it.
