Anyone watching Ken Burns' "Vietnam" documentary? [View all]

I've watched the first two episodes and here is my major though: If there was a mistake or bad decision to be made, we made it each and every time over decades through three presidents so far. And, it's not like we didn't know that we were making bad decisions. We clearly knew. It was like we made them because making the right decision meant that we would look "weak" to the world.
