Ken Burns was wrong about Vietnam War: Complaint # 9,982.......:)

Sunday, July 21, 2019 17:44

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The most pervasive myths in the Burns series are:

• The war had no reasonable, just, or moral cause — all easily refuted by the facts.

• The war was unwinnable — demonstrably disproved by the events of 1972.

• Ho Chi Minh was a popular nationalist — absurd in the light of his murderous record.

• Anti-war activists had no connections to Communist front organizations. See Chapter 19 of my book or read Dr. Louis Fanning’s 1976 book, “Betrayal in Vietnam.”

• A Communist victory in Southeast Asia had no significant consequences on the people of South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos — also absurd in view of mass murders, slaughter, starvation, brutal concentration camps and losses at sea while trying to escape. Even in the early years, the Communists assassinated more than 30,000 South Vietnamese village leaders, school teachers and government officials.

The late Harry G. Summers Jr., colonel of infantry and distinguished faculty member of the Army War College, often called people’s attention to the fact that considerable differences in the treatment of the Vietnam War can be seen in the literature published in academia and that published by the veterans who served during the war. Summers also called attention to the fact that veterans’ perspectives differ considerably according to the time frame of their involvement and their role.
