I am probably going to have to go back and watch it again, it has been a
while since I have seen it.

Watched the first episode last night. Wife had seen it already and said I would
be pissed after I saw it. I was. Why couldn’t the French have just left them
alone after WWII and ditched the colonialism thing? The Vietnamese were all
ready to do their own thing as they had in the past, no need for some other
nation state to stand over them and tell them how things are done.
Like most of Ken Burns’ stuff, it was well done. Looking forward to the next
episode.

My father came back pretty messed up in the head. I have had a lot of people
who knew him before he went and they say he came back a completely different
person.

As I was alive at the time and recall a lot of the evening news aspects, I was
too young to fully grasp what was going on. I had friends in school who’s older
brothers were over there and came back pretty messed up in the head.
I’m interested mainly in the stuff leading up to the war and what was up with
the French bailing out. The rest should be good, too, I was just wondering.
Thanks!

It's very good. I "watched" most of the first part from the kitchen while Mom
had it on the TV, I don't have good memories from those days.
Well worth the time, Burns is a good historian and very neutral. I felt a
great deal of stress relief after watching it, believe it or not.
