Vietnam War prog on BBC4 the neet

[TK-421]

The bastards.

I know, I feel cheated

Here’s the website with the full episodes on:-
http://www.pbs.org/show/vietnam-war/

Not sure if they’ll play, I haven’t checked yet. But the series in total is about 19 hours, as opposed to the 10 hours the BBC is airing.

 

[Silent Bob]

Just watched episodes 7 and 8, covers the My Lai massacre which was truly horrific, as well as the senseless killing of protesting students at Kent State University and Jackson State College.

Every American should be made to watch this series. They would never trust there government ever again.

 

[Malloy]

Made me feel sick this week when they (americans)killed the (american) kids in the campus

Gave me a feeling like that Detroit movie. Just so f***ing angry that the police and military can kill their own so easily

On a lighter note I've added the soundtrack to my Deezer account also another v.n soundtrack and they're class.

Nixon, an even bigger wanker than I thought.

Tricky Dicky.

f***ing appalling that when even after 35,000 American troops had died he was secretly telling Saigon to not turn up to negotiations. Then the fucker was telling the president he hadnt done it. All in the aim to get himself in the White House. Wanker.

They don't. See the Gun Laws.

You would think 9/11 would have done that too. Americans are gullible as fuck.

If I may be political for a moment,Haway the licence fee.

I'm a big fan of the BBC,but when they are buying programmes from America it's hardly something to be proud of.

Seen 3 episodes so far and it’s canny not the usual American shite ohhh look at us we are better than everyone!

It's made by PBS,they are massive lefties.

And the BBC have cut 9 hours out of the original showing

 

[partridge amongst the pig]

I was quite surprised france was involved only 20 odd years after not being happy about Germans in their country and they are doing similar to the Vietnamese

The French are up there with the most horrific in terms of colonising countries over the years.

Who else should be producing a programme about the Vietnam War but those involved? Unless you are saying we shouldn't have any?

As regards PBS being lefties, it's up to viewers to obtain a balanced view and hold a certain scepticism re.the telling of any historical event.

Devious prick, thousands more died just to feed his vanity.

Have they not just been provided with a shorter version, offered to all syndicated stations as an option to increase sales for PBS?

I can't find anything online about this, aside from there being a longer version shown on PBS

Not sure mate, just know that the ones shown in the US we’re almost double the length. Which I’d quite like to see. Not sure if people outside the US can use this link

Me too, but this crack about the BBC 'censoring' footage is probably pretty wide of the mark.

Get the DVD - I've got The Civil War and it's great

It’s just what I read on twitter so probably not true.

Yeah I might do, but I also read (on twitter so again it may be inaccurate) that it’ll be roughly £70 for the set.

The civil war one does intrigue me so I might look for that on eBay or something.
