Ken Burns is very, very American. And pushes very American perspectives.
Even his views of other nations are through American eyes.
The US was there at first to buoy up France's colonialism, then later to push for "democracy/capitalism," the US's own post-WWII "colonialism."

- deepdriver 4y agoClearly you haven't watched the documentary. Half the interviewees are former North Vietnamese or Viet Cong combatants, including serving Vietnamese military personnel. The point is repeatedly made that it was primarily a Vietnamese civil war. The film is made for an American audience, so naturally it also focuses on the lives of American soldiers and their families. I don't know what your last statement has to do with anything.
