At the rate it's going I get the feeling (without analyzing) that PBS and Burns decided "no more than 30 minutes of real war documentary between each "America was awful then" gripe-session".

I tape the show and FF when the home front is shown especially Manzinar and Mobile.

I too was getting disappointed with all of the negatives. Then I looked at it from another direction. Mr Burns is trying to show all of the negatives; segregation, internment, and botched attacks, not to show how bad America was. He’s showing all of the negatives to show how far people went to win. Thousands died from botched war plans and we still soldiered on to win. Thousands suffered from racism and we still soldiered on to win.

Compare that with today’s war on terror. No draft. Very little racism. No rationing. No one forced to do anything different in their lives unless they want to. And 40% of the country are a bunch of p-—ies who want us to lose.
