In the Netflix series, Ken Burns says the war was ”begun in good faith by decent people, out of fateful misunderstandings”, and aren’t both sides to blame, really? A much more balanced view.
If only, the documentary left out Agent Orange completely. Regular massacres by US troops received exactly zero mention. But a lot of time was wasted of crying how the war divided the american public, with forder anti-war protesters crying how bad they were to their ghoulish neighbours.

I thought that documentary made the Americans look like disgusting monsters who kill for fun and it was still too kind to them.

That documentary shit the bed so hard, it was incredible.
The Ken Burns Civil War was pretty great. However, as the war in Vietnam was still within living memory, there was no chance for it to get it right.
When you’re a decent NSA agent acting in good faith (by lying) to foment escalation in a war your country has no business participating in anyway.
