“The North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong were not the national liberators that Ken Burns want us to believe.”
Nor that George Lucas wants us to believe, that Luke Skywalker’s Rebels are the VC and Darth and the Empire are the evil USA.

No kidding about that last bit. Lucas’ basis for the Rebel and Empire is also the reason why I’m rooting for the latter right now (and I’m not too happy with this, since I normally make it a rule of mine to NEVER root for villains, with Lucas essentially forcing me to break that rule. Will never forgive Lucas for his trickery, which ruined Star Wars for me in such a manner that not even the Prequel Trilogy or his edited Original Trilogy could compare. He’s even WORSE than Ken Burns in that regard).
And honestly, I have zero plans on watching the documentary, especially after having read up on various stuff that make clear he’s spewing the same old leftist propaganda. America never lost the war, our victory, heck, our South Vietnamese allies’ victory for that matter, was stolen from us. That said, I would like to see AIM’s documentary about the war that was made in response to Burns’ documentary.
