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.
