Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.
Thanks for the heads up.
I've watched all ten episodes over the last couple of days. A very comprehensive and at times deeply harrowing account of the war.
I personally don't think we can do enough to thank that generation of young men for their service. To their country and the rest of what was then the free world.
The segment about the wall in the last episode was really very powerful.

Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.
They started running The Vietnam War here (the UK) on Monday. It is being shown on BBC 4.
It is also available in the UK on catch-up TV - including BBC iPlayer on the Internet: link.

Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.
They are running it in France and Germany too on the channel Arte. Albeit with close to 30 mins worth of content missing from each episode, because, typically, some genius decided that the schedule could not be altered to accommodate the full running time of each episode.
I'd stick to the full length versions in English, my German and French friends.
But, for the record, here is the mutilated version of the documentary as well:

Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.
I appreciate the effort from the folks out here to " carrying the word through". I can assure you, that you'll learn one or two things you didn't know about the war and find the U.S. Presidential recorded phone and other conversations revealing as well. The inner workings and politics of the North Vietnamese also very enlightening as well.
Thanks to all for the "word".
Regards,
Pat

Re: Vietnam 10 part series on PBS.
This should wrap it up for me for this topic. Just finished watching the last chapter myself-very powerful as RecruitMonty pointed out.
Anyway, PBS in the U.S. to rebroadcast a Chapter every week starting this Tue. Oct. 03, 2017 @ 9PM EST over the next 10 weeks.
Take Care and Thank you all again!
Regards,
Pat
