I watched that episode, and hoped that a contestant or two, or perhaps the mc, would say a few words of respect and remembrance.
If that happened, it was not shown. I found myself wondering who the pilot(s) were. It would have been good to have that mentioned.
We are a silly nation, overall, playing double U turns where a good man or men went down in flames trying to staunch the flow of communism. It was a sad commentary on the state of our nation, or at least our nation’s entertainment, today.
I like Amazing Race, it’s a clean show where you learn things, have a bit of adventure, see some real competition, get to know some people. But this was really disconcerting.
Next week, how about a carnival on the graves at Arlington? /s
From what I could research, mostly comments on travel and hotel sites, it is an extremely obscure relic of the war, even the locals had forgotten. It sits in a sort of reflective pool amidst an old apartment complex.
I was far more bothered by the play/performance part, where the contestants had to sit through some insipid “Vietnam is great, the glories of socialism will live forever” Communist dogma song.
