:yes: I don't know if anyone else watched the "history channel"" last eve., but I did.
I think it was the best Vietnam War Documentary I've ever seen. Gunny Ermy, did an outstanding job, tellin' not only his story but the story of the entire war. How it was done, how politic's got involved. How Westmoreland, God Bless his Son, sent Marine's to Khe Sahn, not to take but to sit and wait until Charlie came. This was against every Marine's training. Marine's don't protect or wait for the enemy comes. Marine's go get the lil rice propelled pukes. Hue, to the Hanoi Hilton/POW's, to the last man Marine off the roof of the embassy, to the Wall in DC, to polish the EGA, what was accomplished, not done so well. One subject that hit home with me was....The medical personnel. I.E. "Doc's" for the Corps. Naval Corpsman. I had one that was the best. They were truely hero's, along with all the Women Nurses who served and it was just one great piece. Gunny can get a little radical sometime's, which just fire's me up. This show? He was all honor dignity to "All" branche's of the Armed forces. Marine's were the first in, the last out. Msgt, Valdez, April 30th 1975, was the last Marine to leave South Vietnam from atop the Roof of the embassay in Saigon. It made me feel proud to have served my country after watching this. It made me feel good, that we didn't fail.
It made me cry remembering the brother's sister's who gave their lives.
I hope all, even one's who weren't there, can watch it, maybe even order it, cause it's very educational. SF.
