It's on PBS. I'm watching the first two episodes On Demand (we have Comcast).Originally Posted by Black Diamond
The history behind the French, Chinese, and eventually our involvement is what's covered in the 1st episode. It's very good to understand all that.

Just watched Part 4. So many instances where the narrator said something akin to, "We were unaware they (Nort Vietnamese troops) were there". Or, "We didn't know there were so many there". Damn. I cried several times at the loss of our precious young men.
