Best Vietnam Doc.?
I am looking for a Vietnam documentary without the left anti-war slant.
My nephew wants to learn more about the conflict but I want him to get the straight story.
I saw one a few years back that was atleast 5-6 hours long, might have been HC, not sure.

I prefer docs like In the Year of the Pig and Hearts and Minds, but I think Vietnam - A Television History may be what you're looking for, or perhaps even the History Channel's The Vietnam War.

You might also consider "Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam".

I've seen most of it. If you're looking for just facts and no slants, that's a good choice. Hearts and Minds is a great movie but has a definite bias.
