Anyone watching this? The first episode looks like Ken Burns has done it again.

Anyone else been watching this? Fascinating stuff. I had no idea we assisted Ho Chi Minh push out the Japanese and help liberate Vietnam, in the same way we assisted Bin Laden in Afghanistan push out the Soviets. Both ended up becoming our political enemies of war. Crazy how history repeats itself like that.

I'll have to check it out. The civil war documentary they did was A+
Usually any documentary Ken Burns does it A+
Has to be the Michael Jordan of American History Documentaries.

From the doc, "Ho Chi Minh began to refer to his followers as The Viet-American Army". Around 1948?
It's impossible to deny what a great leader Ho Chi Minh was and that his only goal throughout was the liberation of his people from colonial rule.
"All men are created equal and they are endowed by their created with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Ho Chi Minh
"Do not be blinded by the issue of communism." Ho Chi Minh to President Truman

Who was responsible for withholding Ho Chi Minh's letters he wrote to Truman???
