Hundreds of thousands? innocent??? NVA and VC WERE NOT innocent.

NVA used children and women as their front line pawns, because them dying was better than a fully trained NVA soldier. Ho Chi Minh himself said the US was doing Vietnam a favor by solving a population problem. After the war they brought 300,000 cambodians dead, and south vietnamese were murdered or put into concentration camps.

Look forward to watching the documentary. Probably a very good place to start gathering information about the debate surrounding what Private Bradley Manning did when he released the Afghanistan Documents and videos to WikiLeaks and how it compares to what Daniel Ellsberg did during the Vietnam Era.
