Think I might have pink eye...sweet. I have a meeting at 11 that got rescheduled from Tuesday because I stayed home sick...they're gonna fucking love me.
I think I'll just hide in the corner of the conference room with a bottle of hand sanitizer.

If interested in that doc, google The Mekong Review: America's Amnesia as a nice sort of compendium -Thanks. Embarrassingly enough, my knowledge of the Vietnam War is mainly limited to what I learned from Forrest Gump, Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter. And a few stories my scoutmaster told me when I was a kid (he was a vet). I find myself sympathizing with Ho Chi Minh way more than I ever expected to. Oliver Stone made Platoon, which seems like a pro-war film. Willem Dafoe was such a badass in 🇻🇳

i remember watching footage of the Vietnam war on TV in the early 70's.. i also remember when my uncle came home from Vietnam in the late 60's.. it was late at night and my mom baked him a cake. most everyone in his Marine company was killed.. he got booted out for drugs.
the worst part of the Vietnam war was it was just about profit, started with the Golf of Tonkin conspiracy, lie.. it never happened. so many people dead so companies like Monsanto and agent orange, weapons maker ect could line their pockets

"Vietnam" is for fucking amateurs. Everything I ever learned about 'nam I learned from this guy:

My old man, who was a Marine in Vietnam, said the only movie that even came close to his experience was Full Metal Jacket.
Platoon blows.

Actually, pretty much everything Oliver Stone has done blows.

I remember liking Salvador when I saw it, but that was a long time ago. Don't know if it holds up.
