    Vietnam in HD on History channel

    Did anybody watch the 5 part series on history channel about vietnam in HD? My dad did 2 tours over there. I learned alot watching that series besides reading about it and from another series in the 80's called (vietnam the 10'000 day war) and storys from my dad. Anybody else have anything positive to share?

      I talked to a vet a while ago about his tour in vietnam. He was in the K9 unit. Dog saved his life plenty of times. One day it was shot and died in his arms.

      I just shortened the story a bit. T'was very sad. And till this day he cannot get himself to get a purebred German Shepard.

          Great series, I keep trying to switch the channel but the stories keep me planted.
          Sad event regardless and after I saw the short clip by Walter Cronkite, it made me sick to my stomach to think that no one should have died there.

            Alot of people were being very negative about the soldiers when they were coming home. I know it was a different time and place in history but that was completely wrong. It really makes me MORE proud than ever about my dad serving in the armed forces especially today after watching that series and seeing how the vets were treated.

                They say History repeats itself, and that we make the same mistakes over and over, but I gotta say that I'm glad America treats it's troops much differently this time around.

                    the last part about the VietCong having bounties on the dogs as well as the handlers is very true as the guy that I talked had a nifty bounty on him. crazy.

                      did uncle sam collect the bounty when he euthanized most of the dogs?

                        I remember hearing on my AM-radio riding in the back of a cold school bus that Richard Nixon had won the Presidency.

                          I have all of them on OnDemand, going to start watching them tonight. OnDemand is the way to go, commercial-free! And they're free.

                            ^Just wish you could do the skip feature or FFW x4+.

                            I saw a single episode. Very well done. I couldn't imagine.

                              God damn. I just finished the first 4 episodes, going to watch the last 2 tomorrow.

                              I've just been mesmerized the whole time. Absolutely incredible.
