[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are watching & agree with PPs that it is riveting. I also listened to a Mark Maron WTF podcast where he interviewed Ken & Lynn abt making it. It sounded like a really interesting process making it. They would play portions of it to the other factions (like the Vietnamese recollections to American military & vice versa) & that *they* were riveted by it, because they too had never heard the other side before. They went and added/redid whole sections because of the fascinating stuff they found out. Also that [b]they didn't want to focus on big names [/b]so they deliberately didn't have McCain in it present-day, but that they showed him the whole thing & he was involved. Amazing. Gives me so much respect and empathy and gratitude for those who served. I always felt that way but now am even more outraged at the politicians of the day. Every time they show a clip of an American with their rifle jamming it makes me cringe.[/quote]

Yes I loved that Burns and Novick focused on the experiences of 4-5 veterans who aren't famous.[/quote]
