Great dvd

My Uncle went to Vietnam, volunteer, and though he said he found it to leave out some information, he found the entire documentary quite thorough in its details of the war as he remembered it. He pointed out only a few details that they brought out about the reasons for going, the problems with the stay, and the internal combustion of the government who tried to fight the war instead of letting the soldiers fight it that he thought were really interesting, and really true to his opinion of what happened to the war. He felt all and all that this documentary was good for someone that was there, and certainly good for me, who wasn't even alive then.

I'm giving this 4 stars because the first DVD was excellent but the second disc was just plain stupid. What is with the multiple choice questions? I'm trying to watch a movie not take an exam!! I was extremely disappointed with disc two. After disc one I was excited to watch disc two and it was so irritating I had to shut it off. Why did they add multiple choice questions to a Vietnam documentary ?? I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that.

GREAT REFERENCE ON THE VIETNAM WAR. VERY TROUBLING TIMES! AS A SOLDIER DURING THAT PERIOD, I HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING THE UNIT I WAS IN (6TH ARMORED CAVALRY REGIMENT- FT MEADE MD)- SENT TO THE PENTAGON FOR RIOT CONTROL DUTY IN OCTOBER 1967. THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF ANTI-WAR PROTESTORS ON THE GROUNDS OF THE PENTAGON, AND WE HAD TO RESCUE THE MP'S.

I bought it as a gift for a friend who is a VietNam veteran.I've had no feedback.Perhaps he did not wish to be reminded. Not sure the reason.

Just because it is educational does not remove the merit of its fifth star. The truth of lies by close presidential advisors is made clear, not diminished. The story of Khe Sanh is clearly told. Any high school American History class can make good use of this documentary to discuss the Iraq war.

This History Channel documentary does not intend to be a fully comprehensive account about the Vietnam War, but a selection of decisive points in the war. It has good footage, most of it appears to be exclusive. The explanation about the battles selected becomes even stronger with the personal accounts of military involved in them. In fact, a very fine acquisition to a war video collection.

Not too bad, they could have put a lot more truth in this one but they didn't do a complete whitewash of the truth

流石ヒストリーチャンネルの作品映像と感じました。映像は私の判断でお話すると１９６８年のＴＥＴ攻勢が主で、その映像でもっとも迫力あったのは南ベトナム都市「フエ」の攻防戦映像でした。是非一度見て頂きたい貴重な作品です。
