The Vietnam War

Last week, we began to watch “The Vietnam War” a 18 hour PBS documentary about this tragic conflict.

What we've learned so far, is that the French set up the stage for a terrible colonial war that ended up in costing the lives of about 3.4 million people and that the Americans, once engaged at picking up the pieces let by my countrymen, ended up digging an even deeper hole for themselves.

All along, it also showed that we've learned nothing when we witness the same scenario still playing out in Afghanistan and Iraq.
