PBS Series... The Vietnam War
10 part series starting this Sunday night at 7pm. I know it may not be for those with personal experience who don't want to relive it, but hopefully it will be an accurate historical account of it all.

Re: PBS Series... The Vietnam War
I'm currently reading a very disturbing book named, "Kiss the Boys Goodbye". It deals with investigations into what many believe are hundreds of American POWs that were left in Vietnam, Cambodia & Laos after the war ended. I haven't finished it yet, but it doesn't paint a very pretty picture of our government over the course of several presidencies, presenting the career bureaucrats as having knowledge of the POWs and ignoring them or even thwarting attempts to bring them home.

John McCain led the charge to shut down any investigation into POWs left behind.....kinda ironic given he's used his 'celebrity' all these years as cover to disrupt his own party.....
He was panther quick and Leather tough.
If he figured that He'd been pushed enough.
