Great documentaries! I highly recommend them, especially since President Bush has announced that we could have won the Vietnam War if we'd *only stuck it out* (such articulateness!) as he intends to do in Iraq. These documentaries show the human cost of war in a way that's being hidden from the public's sight all too often today in the American media. Not only do they reveal the role Asian Americans played in the Vietnam War and how they suffered, these films reveal the horror citizens suffer when their government betrays them by waging needless wars!
