dont believe all you learn in school
I lived during this time and worked with Vietnamese. Listen, when the South fell many fled in boats risking their lives to live in freedom. A man at my work was buying "presents" to send to family so they could sell them. They would then use the money to try and escape Communist Vietnam. He said, "You Americans don't understand because you have always lived in freedom. You would risk everything to be free." I was ashamed of how we left them. Vietnam was lost by the media and the politicans. Wars need to be fought by the military. First we should not have supported the French in keeping the Vietnamese as a colony. That was political. We were afraid the French would become communist. You need to get out some balance in your education. Remember you are being fed revisionist history. I cannot believe when I read something in the history books that I actually lived through, like the Students for a Democratic Society, being called the beginning of the New Left. They were a radical group. If you read my history book in college now they were just your average peaceful political group. I lived in California all my life, peace protests, hippies (I was one) etc. The press lied, we were just pawns and so are the student now. They feed you what they want you to know but now you can find out more. Read other sources. Don't believe anything until you check it out. Both sides have agendas but one side lies more than the other.

wow!
I'm in college, and wasn't born yet during the Vietnam War. My college professor showed this video in class, and I was blown away. I've seen interviews before of American vets, but this was the first time I saw something with the Vietnamese that fought against the Americans. I was against war before I saw this film, but my feelings are even more strong now. I bought the video for my dad who's interested in history, and he thought it was great too.

Humanizing the enemy
I had an incredible range of emotions the first time I saw this film. You get to know these brave individuals, men and women, who fought to survive against all odds. But when you realize their survival pended on the deaths of Americans, you are caught in a very uncomfortable situation...having to recognize the enemy not as pure evil, but instead as humans on the same level as you. Watch it twice...at least.
