Talked about it in another thread but I just finished watching The Vietnam War. It was amazing. Brutal, enlightening, entertaining, horrific, interesting, eye opening, educational, sorrowful, disgusting, funny (though rarely)........... So much info from so many perspectives.
But the last hour or so was my favorite part and it was simply beautiful. Vets going to the war memorial and finding some semblance of healing/closure. Learning to deal with their PTSD. Everyone learning how to forgive each other. Both countries recognizing the mistakes they made and trying to rebuild and move forward while never forgetting the lessons to be learned. American combat vets going back to vietnam years later and meeting and getting to know North vietnam/vietcong combat vets.
Best ending ever. Got my tears to come out.
Sadly my father never got the war behind him like some did (many were like my father and never left vietnam behind im sure). After watching this program I really wish I could talk to him about the war but there is just no way I can go there with him. Too much trauma and pain remains. Breaks my heart.
