Saw all 3 episodes last week and by far the best documentary on Nam to date Footage never seen before and much of it from the soldiers themselves. Good stuff !!

How did they blame joe soldier that was drafted for the war? Did they think the war existed because of these soldiers? They should have all went to jail instead of serve? What? It makes no sense to me. Is there or was there ever a justification given for the treatment of joe soldier when he returned home in that era?
Sure, the entitled infants who made up the baby boomer generation didn't like the war. That was their justification.

I don't see that as a valid point. This generation is much more "pussified" that that generation and noone is spitting on our soldiers returning home.

The use of professional actors' voices is really annoying. Also, it's a little silly to call 1964-1965 "The Beginning" when, I think, any legitimate Vietnam discussion needs to discuss the French, Ho Chi Minh, and the Treaty of Versailles. And no mention of Gulf of Tonkin's uncertainty? Watch The Fog of War before this is my recommendation.

You're wrong. There is no generation more pussified than the boomers. None more hypocritical either.

That is said, or something to that effect about every generation at one point in time or another. It is always false.

Your parents thought and said the same thing about you. Their parents thought and said the same thing about them.

It's nothing more than an excuse to blame the negatives in society largely on the younger generation. Undeserved criticism.

Undeserved criticism? Spitting on drafted returning soldiers when it happens so many times its no longer an individuals decision.

I was actually responding to your claim that the present younger generation is more "pussified" than the previous one.

And I'm saying that it is a false idea. Your parents said the same crap about you. Their parents said the same crap about them. How many "well in my day we used to walk to school in 4 ft of snow, uphill both ways...in sandals" do you have to hear before you realize it is just all a bunch of bullshit?

I tell life has almost come full circle for you now. You can check off becoming just like your parents on the life checklist. About the only thing left is kids through college, a grand kid or 2 and retirement a few years later. amirite?
