I have been watching the Vietnam series on PBS (Channel 11,Chicago)
and was wondering if anyone else any comment on this series. It gives
a balanced view of the war and it's ramifications. There are several
recent events that seem to be very similar to U.S. actions before and
during our involvement there. Especially the actions of our friends in
the CIA DOD & NSA. Sounds very similar to events in central & south
america. Wonder when we'll be "BOMBING THEM BACK INTO THE STONEAGE?"
as one of our generals wanted to do the North Vietnamese (sp?).
In view of previous military actions in these areas I wouldn't be
too suprised if we rescue more endangered Americans in the region in
the near future.
Please let me know your views on this subject. Post it to the net or send
me mail. I am always willing to listen to any reasonable argument or
opinion, even if I don't agree with it. I'll close for now though.
From the ever curious mind of,

The series on Vietnam on PBS is about as unbiased as a political film at the Democratic or Republican conventions. Where were the scenes showing what the Communist death squads did to teachers, nuns, students, intelectuals, and assorted other non-combatents? Even-handed indeed! I too have been watching the series from the beginning and have found it too be rather heavy handed toward the Northern point of view. For every Southern speaker there have been four Northern opinions. T. C. Wheeler pyuxa!wetcw
