Their story is in danger of being lost to history. The men who came home from the Vietnam War represent a second silent generation. These are the men who won every battle in a lost war. Using the same experiential approach to storytelling as WWII in HD, HISTORY gives these veterans a voice. Through a collection of color Vietnam footage never seen by the public from private collections, museums, the US government, veteran’s and news organizations as well as sources from Vietnam, they tell their stories and relive their struggles, courage and fears. This six-hour miniseries spans the massive initial troop build-up in 1965 to the fall of Saigon a decade later. Sound design, using popular music from that era, powerfully evokes the time period and experience. This film documents the Vietnam War in the words of Americans who served there. It features home movies and rare archival footage collected during a worldwide search and now presented in high definition. Many scenes are graphic in nature and viewer discretion is advised.

Vietname In HD
One of my ex-co-workers called me to tell me to watch “Vietnam In HD” on the History Channel. He and I are both retired police officers and befriended each other just by mere chance. Since I’ve always been intrigued by this particular war since the draft was done away with while I was a senior in high school, I’d questioned him since he’s an ex-Vietnam veteran and had told me he’d been at Hamburger Hill. I’d always had this guilt that I’d chosen school over the war back then. Since he’s an awesome buddy of mine, he and I have shared his stories about this ugly war. It’s ashame that they weren’t supported by the majority of the Americans here. He’s cried with me and I feel proud and honored to have shared his experiences over there. Even though he’s 10 years older than me, he and I are like brothers.After having said that, I’d noticed “Vietnam In HD” had 4-6 different stories. Naming them: (1)An Endless War (1978), (2) A Changing War(1964-1965); Peace With Honor (1971-1975), (3) The Beginning (1964-1965); Search & Destroy (1966-1967), (4) The Tet Offensive (1968); An Endless War (1968-1969), (5) The Beginning (1964), and (6) The Tet Offensive (1968). I didn’t know if #3 and #4 were the same as #5 and #6. I see that you sell “Vietnam In HD” but have no idea if the DVD/Blu-Ray broadcasts all the stories. I want to buy the whole series but am not sure if I should if it doesn’t have all of them. I wish you’d let your customers know. I want to buy the blu-ray version and give one to him as a gift for his donation to the war and our country for the veteran’s day weekend. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Controversial War, Honorable Soldiers
Vietnam is my generation’s war. It is hard to comprehend the young kids shooting the video presented in this DVD are now, like me, in their sixties. This DVD is not an in depth study of the war. It does not get into the reasons why this country became both mired in it, and torn apart by it. The Gulf of Tonkin is mentioned as the first step toward increasing U.S. involvement, but it does not discuss the controversy regarding legitimacy of the Tonkin incident. It doesn’t mention Mai Lai, nor does it spend a lot of time discussing the reasons why the American public turned against the war. It is not meant to. This is the recollections of the young Americans who were on the ground, a nurse who served there and a P.O.W.’s wife. It does a great job of describing all the different hard fought engagements with the NVA, and the horror of it all. Many who went to Vietnam were volunteers,but many were draftees with no say in the matter. These young men served without caring about the politics of the time. They went, did what they were told to do, and just tried to stay alive. All Vietnam Vets who served risked their lives, and should be honored for the sacrifices they made. Some just wanted to survive and get home. Others returned home to join those speaking out against U.S. involvement. All were patriotic Americans, and hearing their personal stories put a human face on this war. For those who were interested in this DVD and/or the history of the Vietnam War, I recommend the exceptional PBS Documentary, “Two Days in October”. Remembering my friend, John. Deployed in August of 1967, and killed in Kontum Province, March of 1968. 19 years old.

The Culture of the 60’s & 70’s and the Viet Nam War
I purchased this History Channel DVD because I was there. It was the war American was, and I believe still is ashamed of. It is not the whole story however, but it is an important part. You must also understand the 60’s and 70’s to help put things into perspective. The country had no taste for the war and they showed their dislike in very public and personal ways. Jane Fonda cavorting with the NVA, flag burning and calling the returning soldiers baby killers and spitting on them were just a few. I volunteered for service because I thought that what was happening in our country and overseas was far too important to set it out on the sidelines. I couldn’t think of anything worse, at the time, than not being able to give my children and/or grandchildren my firsthand account. Of the 9,087.000 of us who served, over 66% were volunteers and 58,156 died. The DVD brought back both good and bad memories but I think it’s a good addition to your library if you are interested in the time and culture of the 60’s and 70’s and why we were there.

For those who have only heard about it, this makes it real…
Having served two tours of duty with the “Brown Water Navy” in Vietnam, the 1st in ’65-’66 and the 2nd in ’68, I was disappointed at the lack of information about the US Navy’s contribution throughout the conflict. That being said, the two BD set contains the best explanation of the war I have viewed to date. Without taking sides it explains the controversy which grew to surround the conflict itself, the confusion of those who waited at home, and the turmoil faced upon their return, by those who were told to leave their homes to fight it.Unlike other “explanations” of the war which I have watched over the years, not one minute is wasted on useless information, glorification or controversy. Vietnam in HD tells the story of why those of us who fought it did what we did, and those who watched the war on TV at home, did what they did.The BD set is worth every minute of time invested in watching it, whether you are a Vietnam Veteran, the family of a VN Vet or a member of the generations who followed. If you are one who cares, buy it and give it a watch; you will be glad you did.
