    Anybody watching Vietnam in HD on the History channel?

    Especially Vietnam veterans. Real? BS? Or what?

    Looks very, very good from where I sit.
    If it's a war on drugs, then free the POW's.

    Did we ever figure out exactly what that job was?

    Or why?

    I can't watch it. I'd have flashbacks, and wake up on the road to Winnipeg.

    It's "Vietnam in HD" not Vietnam in HD. Capiche?

    BTW, I will trust FOX News regarding this type of news.

    I guess. ;)

    Following the success of its Emmy-winning series, “WWII in HD,” the History Channel’s new documentary focuses on one of the most controversial chapters in U.S. history: the conflict in Vietnam.

    Culling thousands of hours of uncensored footage from war correspondents and never-before seen film shot by soldiers on the front lines, “Vietnam in HD” follows firsthand accounts of veterans who served during the conflict in Vietnam.

    The footage has been converted into state-of-the art HD, so at times it feels as if one is watching a movie shot in 2011. But the footage is all too real. In often emotional testimony, men and women who served their country during the conflict remember some of Vietnam’s most infamous battles.

    It is another glorification of war as imperial policy, not as defense of a threatened nation. A vicarious thrill for them who have no experience with either military idiocy or imperial policy at first hand. I'll pass.

    Haven't seen any of it so far, but I'd be interested in how well the film -> HD conversion turned out.
