I so appreciate and respect the way Ken Burns follows his calling...series upon series!!! Elizabeth
re: 10:30 . I agree with the sentiment, but in terms of biology, it is ridiculous to state that only humans kill when not hungry. Lions kill cheetah cubs, some male bears kill cubs sired by another male, and the list goes on. Dame Jane Goodall documented war between rival bands of chimpanzees. Humans are not exempt from condemnation, but we aren't alone (which may amplify the point).
Ken Burns is a talented guy, I have enjoyed the documentary’s he has made and been involved in. I cannot listen to him, after seconds the utter shit has to be shut off.
To Ken Burns
I just watched episode 7, when I heard the words of writer Đức Vổ talk about "no notification of dead soldiers until the end of the war", I was indignant and disgusted at his brazen, shameless lies
It is announced every few months. You can go out and ask any person over 70 years old in rural Vietnam, they will tell you this story.
Letting such a brazen liar speak on film makes people think that the author film is as lying as he is.
Can you explain what is meant by no notification of dead soldiers? American or Vietnamese and do you mean North or South? Than k you.
