Just finished watching "The Forgiven", a story of Desmond Tutu and the Truth and Reconciliation

The 10 part Ken Burns Vietnam show is on Netflix now. That is a good
binge show. You might even recognize some of the stuff although they
do seem to be talking more about the Marines in the first few shows I
have seen.


Does Burns show when the command of Walter Kurtz was terminated?

They are not really addressing the covert ops in the Cambodian
highlands that much. They do make some fairly critical comments about
the Phoenix Program.
LBJ does not come out well in this show. His own recordings are the
worst evidence about the lies he was telling the American public. They
are trashing Nixon now. (episode 7&8) He perpetuated the lies. They
are saying he was trying for a diplomatic solution but he still
widened a losing war.
The parallels to Iraq and Afghanistan are striking
