Anyone started watching this yet on PBS? I am through the first 2 episodes (through Kennedy administration). I highly recommend. It might even be better than the Civil War so far which is saying a lot. The interviews are outstanding, especially with the ex Viet Cong and NVA guys. I've definitely been picking up a few tidbits of which I was previously not aware.

    I'm too upset about those colored boys kneeling during a song to care about any of this!

    He should figure out a more productive way to make a difference. Doesn't have to be DIAFF. Maybe be more like Marshawn or something and try to change actual lives.

    If Truman would have been delivered the memo from Ho-Chi Minh, it's very possible that there would have been no wa...,er uh conflict.

    Fucking French Republic - they fuck every thing up! Note - it was the Kingdom of France, not the Republic, that helped us win our independence, so there's no hypocrisy in my statement.
    Damn straight. I've only watched the first episode "Déjà Vu", and it never ceases to amaze me the devastating ripple effects colonialism had on human history.

    Like Race I'll comment more when I have more time. I will say though it's excellent, but a very difficult watch.

    What about the War of 1812, tough guy? Ok, that was the Empire, but it was run on more or less Republican principles except Napoleon was in charge.

    You should be court marshaled for bringing this weak ass shit up in here. No French Revolution, no War of 1812- 15.

    that was a TOUGH Canadian Army
    Also I never said there wouldn't have been another war at some point to invade Canada. Hell I still think we should absorb all on Canada from Ontario west into the Union. It is our destiny to do so.
