1. I watched the documentary.

And would give it a good review (as one old enough to have lived through it all)

4. Watching it now. Sickeningly wonderful.

Wayne Morse: We have been the outlaw in Southeast Asia.

It will never happen again

Highly recommended.

5. Over a million Vietnamese killed. For nothing.

And it still goes on, a different venue, different words to describe "the enemy", and nobody has learned a thing.
