I know it's a popular series, and I haven't gotten my dad's response to it because he hasn't watched it, but many war veterans and South Vietnamese military members say it's not a very balanced documentary.

- refurb 9y agoAre you sure? I've watched a bit of it and it seems to approach the war with 20/20 hindsight. "Oh of course it was wrong to be there". It ignores some of the mindset that got us there in the first place.
- lostlogin 9y agoIt would be interesting to compare the views of those conscripted versus those that voluntarily signed up.
- NotSammyHagar 9y agoYou have a lot of informed opinions because of course you were close to the war and your family was. I hope to see you continue to share your ideas, even if you are suffering some criticism.
- candiodari 9y agoOh come on. Look at the series. You can say what you want but it is extremely biased. It takes about 30 seconds for it to call the war a mistake, and it doesn't get better from there.
