This show showed Vietnam vets in a mostly good light--and about Ho Chi Minh mass-murder

Although one of the vets was in therapy for the most part they were real good guys despite on the show having fought in America's (wrongly) most unpopular war. Ken Burns himself showed (in his own book on Vietnam) that Ho Chi Minh committed brutal mass-murder on landlords in a North Vietnam land reform in the 1950's. Thus America saved South Vietnamese landlords from undergoing a similar fate!

Another thing. This show had a false rep. They said no one ever died on the show from A-Team violence. But a poster at jumptheshark.com ( now at archive.org) said that was bull and in more than one ep someone did die from A-Team violence.I presume it was a couple of real plot baddies.
