SDH, Vietnam was a fully bipartisan blunder, involving far more than just


Presidents at the time. In terms of helping the country begin to see the light on Vietnam - that came mostly from “your” team.

Another great Burns documentary - Muhammad Ali. He was absolutely eviscerated for his anti-war stance. By 1975, the country’s clearer understanding of the war was maybe the most significant aspect of his rehabilitated public image. The political right was no less responsible for leading us into the absurd understandings that ensnared us in Vietnam, but it was actually far less responsible for opening our eyes.

So, it’s really just silly partisanship to go down this path, started here by a silly parody poster (we hope). It was a joint, bipartisan fuck up. Tragically.
