I agree Burns "cherry-picked" the vets for their anti-war views, they are not representative of the ones I know. I guess it was easy for some to fall for the victim syndrome when the "baby killer" didn't work. I was disgusted when the marine made light of Jane Fonda, she should have been tried and convicted of treason(in my humble opinion) Unfortunately I agree this will become what people think is the definitive story of the war.
