Inside Vietnam

Postby STABAC » Tue Jan 05, 2010 5:47 am

I watched a 2 hr documentary last nite on the National Geographic channel and found it very interesting that in that amount of time there was a 5 second clip of the spraying of AO with about 10 words describing it. The overall show was good and accurate but they made it sound like AO didn't exist, that is by their obvious exclusion of it from the story. I tried to see when this doc was filmed but couldn't catch it. I think 10-15 years ago because the vets they interveiwed seemed to look awfully young, (compared to me anyway)

I watched that too Frank , it was a 3 hr. show , I recorded it. It should be on again it was on twice last night . No they sure did'nt talk about AO very much , 1 shot of planes spraying it. They always make it look like AO was just a small , innocent part of it dont they ? That my friend is just another example of media bias. Sux dont it ?
