"Saving Private Ryan" meets "Gallipoli."

What They Sold America
-
Vietnam Veterans were portrayed as drug-addled, undisciplined, psychologically broken
Elites focused on American moral failings - America "deserved" to lose
Vietnamese people were depicted either as a backdrop or as victims of American aggression
The false choice: "Gentle American Occupation" or trigger World War III
Righting the Wrongs:
PHASE LINE GREEN
Honors a generation of Americans who fought with the same courage as those who stormed Normandy - SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
Illustrates the failure of wartime political leaders who prioritized theory over reality, employing the deadly "gradual escalation" approach against a hardened enemy who is uninterested in negotiating
Rectifies the lens of history: Vietnamese civilians are real people, terrorized by their own neighbors and the North
Uncovers a litany of betrayals from a hidden NVA/Vietcong massacre to secret restrictions on American use of force
Demonstrates the tragic costs: rules of engagement change - too late for Nick, his platoon, and... America. - GALLIPOLI
Same video but with a different narrator
