One of the things that pushes my buttons, is to hear people refer to the 13 part PBS series, “Vietnam, a Television History”, as American history. That series was so full of BS and lies, it was no wonder a media watchdog group in Washington DC, produced a special about the series. The special video called “Television’s Vietnam”, set a lot of those lies straight.
Even more amazing to me that the major media TV and print folks, never issued an apology for the lies they told or printed.
Television’s Vietnam is out of print now. I donated my only copy years ago to the Metal Of Honor Museum, in Chattanooga. I wish I had made a copy of it to show people, who saw the 13 part series as part of American History Classes, in many colleges around the USA.
I am glad sites like yours are helping to setting the history records right.

Leon, I don't know if you will ever read this or not but I am sitting here in Louisville KY. and it's 1:30 AM just cruising the VN sites for other idiots that can't sleep. I cannot agree with you concerning that PBS story. I was in country for 12 months 22 days. I thought that about 70% of the show was acurate.
