It really reminds me why I do not trust the government.
In that period I went from a raving hawk, who actually tried to go
over there three times (once with the Navy, once with the CG and once
with IBM) to an anti war guy. In the process, I lost my faith in
politicians, the media and the government in general. I am not sure I
have seen the process defined as well as in watching that show and it
covers the same time frame.

I've watched most of it. Over time I think that most of us realized
that what we were being told and the reality were two different
things. Seeing all of the misinformation and lies in one place, over
a short period of time, is deeply disturbing however. LBJ and Nixon
come off in a particulary bad light, Kennedy not much better.
