I imagine the vast majority here either served in Vietnam or served during Vietmam. Seems like nobody wants to comment. Most of the Veterans I have talked to are at best lukewarm about it. I must admit the piece I saw on our local PBS station was not reassuring. Burns described the shooting of that VC who had just killed a family as an "Assassination." That said so far I have found episodes 1 and 2 informative. I was in 7th grade when JFK was assassinated and took part in the Vietnam and Cambodian evac ops as a navy dentist with 1st Bn 4th Marines. I was 25...IMG_0649.jpg I had 7 years of Army ROTC and had been run through a lot of training about Vietnam and had really thought I had missed it.
There are many people better qualified than myself to offer an opinion on this series. What are your thoughts?
