It's all fake news! PBS?? That's a commie left-wing propaganda machine!
At one point, it kind of felt like that in that episode, where they showed the video of Gen Loan executing the prisoner (the photo is famous, the video rarely seen) and talked for minutes about how horrible it was that this general just causually executed the prisoner (who killed a SV colonel and his family).
But then they talked about the massacres by the NVA/VC at Hue. 2800 rounded up and executed.
(Last night I learned that a college friend who came to the US from S Vietnam in 1985, had his maternal grandparents kidnapped and killed in Hue.
)
It's definitely balanced, IMO.
(Note, I'm not saying they say US atrocities are just as bad as VC/NVA, but that it doesn't whitewash it - it talks about US finding their dead mutilated, the Vietnamese saying they killed prisoners; but also how US troops would collect ears, or how one Marine said, "We didn't torture or mutilate prisoners. But a prisoner is someone you had to take back to camp. Any one who surrendered to us was a sorry fuck." Basically, they took no prisoners. Incredibly powerful stuff.)
