This is a real eye opener. I knew that many people became disillusioned w/ this "war" in it's latter stages and that many were aware that it was an unnecessary and "staged" war but. I never realized that so many knew how immoral and criminal it was before it even got going well. It seems as though this may have been the time when our government was bought and sold and ceased to be "by the people, for the people..." It's easy to understand why there was such an effort to suppress this in '68.

This is truly a great documentary. It is increasingly difficult to find documentaries that are objective and unbias. The recent trend of producing documentaries deliberately designed to maximize entertainment value greatly sacrifices intellectual substance. Political polarization is an additional factor contributing to this phenomena. Consumers are increasingly forced to choose between documentaries oriented around a left or right-wing prospective instead of thought provoking objectivity.

This is an outstanding documentary. One of the few that really explains what went on behind the scenes
