Summary: Vietnam, a Communist view
Comment: I ordered this set hoping to get a true picture of the Vietnam war, but I should have known better than to expect anything like that from Time Life. Just like Walter Chronkite's left wing reporting during the entire war years, Time Life has given us a war prospective from the smiling, laughing faces of General Giap on down to the VC. The whole idea of the set is to portray that the poor Vietnamese were just trying to unify their country, and that the big, bad Americans were stopping them even though the South wanted to join the North. The only people interviewed in the set (other than politicians)were Communists, anti-war Americans, and Americans that had guilty consciences about some "atrocities" they committed. Nothing was said about the Vietnamese atrocities to both Americans and to any Vietnamese that didn't go along with the Communists. This whole set was nothing but a left wing expose on the war without any equal time given to the right wing position. I regret spending the money on it and will never again buy anything from Time Life.

Summary: For My Dad...Thank You!
Comment: I purchased this item for my dad. He had mentioned that he had seen it on TV as a promotion, and he was interested in acquiring it. He is a Vietnam Veteran, so he was drawn to the commentary.
Thanks dad...for helping preserve freedom...many years ago.

Summary: Loonie Left Pap: Ground Hog Day Deja Vu...,Deja Vu...,Deja Vu
Comment: This is simply a collation of the far left's view going back to the beginning. After all these years is there not even one journalist that has the courage to tell the truth? Our last hope of honest reporting died with Dickie.(Chapelle)
From Morley Safer's infamous cigarette lighter shot of a Marine firing an enemy CP that had magically morphed into a villager's home during his ride from his air conditioned hotel, in an air conditioned auto, to Walter's created body counts, it is simply ...,more "been there done that...,"
We Viet Nam Vets have never been treated objectively. This rehashed piece of trash is simply more of the same. Do not waste your money.
