Wonderful character development!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Brennan Camacho
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

It took me a little bit to get into this series as watching all of it can be a daunting task if you are like me and have little time to dedicate to tv watching. But it was so worth it (each episode is almost 2hrs x 10 episodes).I am a war history buff and have seen a lot of movies/documentaries. It was really cool to see the segments of war I was familiar with come into the spotlight. I was horrified by some of the events that I had "heard" about but never had seen in such detail. By the end of this series I was revolted by the horror of war. I was in tears because I had connected so well with the people interviewed throughout the series. I learned details I had never known before and got a really in depth look at the history of the USA over the span of decades. I can't recommend this docuseries enough to anyone, if you want a more in depth look at the war or the politics involved or the time period in the US and Vietnam this is a must see.

What our politicians did to our military men was criminal. Then how they were treated by our own countrymen was equally criminal.I've enjoyed Ken Burns documentaries on other subjects and hope to be able to stay with it. He does seem to have a bias...

I thought I was tripping out, but they reused scenes from other episodes. Still interesting to watch.

Ken, (may I call you Ken?) and Lynn (if I may be so bold), have created...yet another...masterpiece.
I've watched most of Ken's (may I call you Ken?) documentaries from start to my next birthday and rant to everyone I know how awesome that show was...still is, and have come to this conclusion;
Any educational and/or historical curriculum that doesn't include every Ken Burns documentary is worthless.
It just doesn't get any better...
until...
Lynn (if I may be so bold) gets involved.
48 hours ago I started watching "The War", then immediately began "The Vietnam War"...
They are both jaw draw-dropping.
Like the 4-minute mile, they have set a new standard for documentaries. I've experienced 40 years of commentary on these conflagrations, yet still learn something new.
...this dedication eschews 4 thousand words...
however,
in context,
the first 9 minutes of episode 7 is potentially...
hands down...
the best...
EVER!that's it,
that's all I got...
it's not even mine....
this is how we all learn...
love...
