    Joe ScarboroughVerified account @JoeNBC
    Ken Burns’ Vietnam is the most important film I’ve ever seen. It challenges all ideological assumptions and treats those who fought the war and opposed it with extraordinary respect, while never shying away from the excesses of both. It is remarkable. @KenBurns pic.twitter.com/gPU1VYomNT

        Good to hear. I have not seen the film and my tweet is aimed at Joe's "both sides" framing and also the cliché of the 60s "excesses" by which people usually mean antiwar hippies, not war crimes like Laos bombing.

        For a serious documentary about the V war, The Year of the Pig and Hearts and Minds are far superior.

        “...ThE eXcEsSeS oF bOtH.” Yes, it’s true that one side killed millions of people with incendiaries and high explosives. But the *other side* was often discourteous or even downright RUDE when pointing that out.

        But did you see the terrible Westmoreland workout video? Was it as terrible as deploying napalm on countless innocent villagers? Who can even say?

        During a discussion, Ken Burns said this war was a three country situation. It is at least about four states: US, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

        More than 4 if you count the military troops from Australia, New-Zealand, South-Korea who fought along U.S. and South Vietnam soldiers and the support of China and Russia to North Vietnam.

        I took issue with Mr. Burns' comment because, after so much work on the Vietnam War, he seemed to conveniently leave out at least one country his fatherland had been bombing. Thank you for your response!
