A Great Account of Events.

I remember seen the evening news on this topic. This is the war put in perspective and in detail. It looks more like a great news-magazine with plenty personal accounts. There are some limited comments on the politics of the time. And some limited evaluations of the strategic situation. Then, it occurs to me that may be there was no much strategy to talk about. Anyway, I fell it was short on strategic and political perspectives. Perhaps that is why it is called "inside".

Best Documentary on Vietnam.

This is MUCH better than the History Channel DVD on The Vietnam War, with FAR better organization and clarity.

If you like National Geographic specials, you'll be impressed with this as well. The best I've seen on this subject.

VIETNAM PERSPECTIVE

Inside the Vietnam War is AN EXCELLENT FILM based on true and/or actual events that happen during a trying time in US history. Having a lot of friends and associates serve in the war gave me a better understanding of what actually happened and a disturbing opinion about the people behind the decision making in the white house.

However, more importantly, this film gave me a better perspective of the way the US media reported events and how they tried to manipulate US citizen's public opinion about this war. We should be outraged. The part of the film that showed Walter Cronkite indicating the TET offensive was a "stalemate" was treasonist. Although I do not remember the exact numbers, the body count of the offensive was overwhelmingly in favor of the Americans. Somewhere near 100,000 enemies killed to less than a thousand Americans. In addition, there was not one single offensive launched by the Vietcong (VC) and/or North Vietnam Army (NVA) that the American military did not overtake and win. NOT ONE. And this is undisputed.

In the end, war is HELL. But you go to war to win. And if successfully killing the enemy is an indication of winning the war, then the American military was overwhelmingly successful. The final numbers are mind-boggling; over 1.5 million VC/NVA (and unfortunately Vietnam citizens) to roughly 58,000 American military personnel.

We all should be proud of our American men and women in uniform. They did not ask to go there; they were told and given orders. They obeyed, did their job and did it well. We should be more worried about our decision makers and policy makers than our military.

This film should help everyone become more informative about this war.

National Geographic: Inside the Vietnam War

Inside the Vietnam War is one of the best stories about Vietnam I have seen. It shows for those who served there what took place before, after and while you were in-country. It's very informative and may help to bring some understanding about the war.

The Best Vietnam Documentary

This is the best Vietnam documentary I've seen so far. It is a good source of history on why the United States entered into that war and its consequences. The documentary narrates step by step from the beginning of the Vietnam war until its end in 1975 with excellent footage. I highly recommend it for all those who are interested in knowing the "truth about this war."
