Politics, politics, politics. But if you can get past that, there is some truly amazing archival footage in this movie. And there are interviews with lots of very powerful people, including General Westmoreland and J.W. Fulbright. Fulbright sounded smart. Westmoreland, on the other hand, sounded totally ignorant, especially (and perhaps surprisingly) compared to the GIs who had real, on-the-ground experiences in Vietnam.I wish I had more to say about this movie, but (1) I am sick and tired, so I fell asleep for a little bit in the middle, but not long; and (2) it's hard to write about documentaries. They are what they are.
