Just got done watching The Vietnam War, the documentary by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. I found it worthwhile, but at the end of the final episode, after eighteen hours, you’re a bit emotionally spent and I found myself shaking my head and muttering to myself, What a waste. Literally, everyone got fucked. Thirty years, over 58,000 American dead, 150,000 wounded, $111 billion . . . For nothing. A nation divided, an ally betrayed, a people abandoned.
