Gobsmackingly good TV, although grim, depressing and enlightening at the same time. Ken Burns is very good. |  | | |

a great programme. ive been to vietnam several times. lovely country and people for all their suffering and wars against the japanese,french and americans. will always remember the sight of the shot down b.52 in huu tiep lake in hanoi.
there we demonstrations all over the world about the vietnam war. ( that reminds me ,will have to hunt the house for the photos of me and my mates at the big demo in londons trafalgrar square in 1968)
the thing i remember at the time was how john waynes film the green berets made out the viet cong and north vietnamese were animals and the americans were saints. the film even managed to convince a anti war reporter he was wrong.
the right wing media made every anti war person a left winger commie, nothing changes. jane fonda was vilified for speaking out agaist the war, was the commie jayne was the least offensive name for her at the time. |  |

How did you dress for the demos? A friend from way back and a couple of years older than me managed to make it to the last big one. He said when the coach stopped in Saxmundham (or Wickham Market..or somewhere) a dozen lads got on dressed as the Viet Kong - coach driver wasn't happy.
Concerning Jane Fonda - see also Dixie Chicks when Iraq War was declared. | |

The Vietnam War was a constant presence in my life as a schoolkid. Didn't really grasp the issues at that time, and since then discussion of it has really been about the US Vets and PTSD.
Nice to see the Vietnamese view given in this series. Brilliant interviews and stories.
I've just watched the Tet Offensive episode, the infamous execution of a Vietcong and the storm of anti-war sentiment that unleashed. 1968 was - too put it mildly - a dramatic year across the world. |
I presume you are referring to the Cần Vương Rebellion? |  |

we dressed as normal. our cloths would have been classed as rockers at the time,.althou we were not heavily in rock and roll and d.as. as hair styles. we had leather jackets and sleeveless denim jackets as we rode motor bikes. we had the long hair and into english bands who did the blues e.g. john mayall, the pretty things ,yardbirds etc. we did stick out
from the normal protester.
we travelled up in a van and 2 cars as we didnt fancy trying to find a place to park 15 motor bikes.
one thing that do stand out was as we walked through the back streets to trafalgar square was seeing loads of black maria vans full of police. coming from suffolk i had only see coppers in pairs on the streets. mind you after grosvenor square they were needed | |

Interesting to see in episode 7 how the children of many North Vietnamese leaders suddenly found the urge to study in Soviet universities as death tolls mounted.
Nixon, well yeah, see Factual's earlier comment. |  |

That's putting it pretty bloomin mildly re 1968. In the Swedish Allsvenskan that year four teams finished level on points in the fight for the title. Osters IF took the title by +1 GD from Malmo and +4 GD from Norrkopping, Djurgardens unfortunately beaten down to 4th place, despite finishing level on points with the title winners in an extraordinary ding-dong final day shake down in which all four teams were at some stage in pole position. To cap it off, it was Osters very first season in the top division. |  | | |
