Powerful
This is the best documentary ever made about the Vietnam war. They scored an impressive 100% accuracy rating on the facts that I checked. The presentation is low key and visually subtle. The director does not hit you over the head with how clever he is, but each interview, each picture adds to the whole, making a very powerful point. No matter what your preconceptions about the Vietnam War, this will make you confront and rethink them.

This needs to be seen by the electorate, especially is it appears that we may be getting ready to enter into another shooting war. There are questions about our national commitment that need to be addressed before we send off our sons to fight another war. Those question were never addressed in Vietnam, and that was the essential tragedy of the war.

It's an absolute pity that the History Channel won't show this.

An important piece of historical filmmaking
For those of us in the younger generations, this series will offer a view of the war that we have been denied in our schoold and films for too long. The series captures the essence of what we, as sons of Vietnam veterans, have known all along; that are fathers actions in this war should be noted in history as being as worthy as any other military campaign. I am proud to call my dad a Vietnam veteran, and after watching this series, you too will be proud to thank a veteran of that war, be it an American soldier, or one from the misrepresented south Vietnamese army.

The Long Way Home Project
If you were there, you need to see this film series. It tells the story we wanted to tell, but could not. Rejected by The History Channel as too "right wing". See [URL] for the full story. Buy it here and cast your vote for the truth.
