As a Navy veteran of the VN war, I found many segments of this Mega-series VERY difficult to watch, primarily due to the stupidy of those in Washington running it and the violence of those on the ground actually killing each other. Even while I was in the area, on board an aircraft carrier, it seemed rediculous that we were involved in THEIR CIVIL WAR. The only way I figured that I would be a causality, was either an accident or the Chinese getting involved and dropping the big one on us, but I did loose a couple of friends in the Corp, which I felt was unnecessary. That's why in 1966, I joined the VN Veterans against the war. TH
