in country

By the time I reached Episode Four in this ten-episode film [The Vietnam War], I concluded it should not be touted as an Emmy Award winning documentary.

It is a cornucopia of anecdotes that gives us a glimpse of that war that I’m sure the Pentagon and the Koch brothers, who funded it, would approve of, but its priorities are misguided. The war was never “begun in good faith,” it was never just a “mistake,” it was, from the beginning and throughout, a morally depraved undertaking.
