This movie is so good that I was completely glued to the TV. We all know how terrible the Vietnam war was for the soldiers and the civilians, but this movie gives the viewer an incredible view of how terrible it must have been for the US government at that time.
I remember in the 60's wondering why the US didn't just quit fooling around and destroy the North Vietnamese, and then after there was so much protesting I wondered why they didn't just bring the troops home. This movie explains how the US got in over their heads and really had no options.
Maybe I'm sick but this movie made me me really feel sorry for President Johnson and his advisors for the decisions they had to make and then live with.
I'm trying to find this on Video, I want to watch it again and again!
