It is, but also very eye opening. I hadn't had much exposure to the details of the war prior to watching it. It does a good job telling the N. Vietnamese side, the American side, the political fuckery, and the anti-war movements.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 8:20 pmI've been reluctant to dig in because I thought it would be depressing.

Definitely a sad time in history for all involved. The social divisions at that time, aren't much different than we're seeing today.

Yeah, it's such a Hallmark of politician controlled warfare. I found all my father's service papers from Vietnam, some heavy reading for sure.4zilch wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:07 pmIt is, but also very eye opening.

The similarities between then and now are impossible to ignore. War is a nasty business, to be avoided at all costs.
