Three of the best documentaries on The Vietnam War -- far better than "Heart of Darkness" -- remain "Hearts and Minds," "Virtual JFK," and "Vietnam: American Holocaust." While "The 10,000 Day War" contains important, even stunning, historical footage, it is fatally flawed by a lack of honest horror at the war's inaugurating lies and ultimate cost, and by a total failure to articulate when those who are being interviewed are lying straight-faced into the camera, especially toward the very end when Winston Lord, Henry Kissinger's primary aide in the final peace talks, lies about the origins, aims and results of Nixon's 1972 Christmas bombings of North Vietnam. He falsely claims the Christmas bombings brought the North Vietnamese back to the peace table, as "nothing else happened" in that period that could explain their return. What actually happened is that the U.S. removed the 60 some punitive conditions which had been inserted into the peace agreement by South Vietnamese President Thieu; thus, when the agreement was restored to its original version, minus those conditions, the North Vietnamese returned to the peace table and signed. The Christmas bombings were a futile exercise in mass destruction, and only added to America's genocidal campaign against a people who never wished us harm and could in fact do no harm to America's so-called "national interest." See the short, lucid, comprehensive book "America's Indochina Holocaust: The History and Global Matrix of The Vietnam War," which exposes the lies of Kissinger and his aides in its chapter on Nixon. Also read "The Price of Power" and "Kill Everything that Moves." A final note: Peter Arnett should be ashamed to have his name associated with "The 10,000 Day War" insofar as the film allows people like Lord to lie to the camera, then leaves those lies intact with no qualifying and correcting commentary. Arnett's journalistic coverage of war, from Vietnam to Iraq, was usually outstanding; his failure here is inexcusable. A virtue of the film "Vietnam: American Holocaust," and the book "America's Indochina Holocaust," is that they show that Bush's wars against Iraq and Afghanistan constitute the equivalent of America's Second Vietnam War, largely made possible by the American system of compulsory miseducation and the total failure of the mainstream media to inform and enlighten.

If you are looking for an overview of the entire VN War, I DO NOT recommend this 3 DVD set! I still feel to this day after watching many that "Vietnam: The 10,000 Day War" is still the best in that regard. However, this set does have a few good things going for it. The first DVD deals well with the U.S. units involved in Laos and the initial units that were sent to Vietnam as advisory groups, especially the Special Forces and JFK Training Center at Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg. If you want to know the details about the battle of Hamburger Hill, the second DVD goes into more detail than necessary about that battle. It is excellent for the Vietnam War buff who wants to know the units involved tactics, weapons, and blow by blow chronology of that particular battle. The last DVD is unique in that it thoroughly covers Stockdale and his being shot down and spending 7 and ½ years in the Hanoi Hilton. But more importantly, it goes into the Gulf Of Tonkin incident, involving the Turner Joy and Maddox, and verifies the fact that Stockdale, including other aviators on scene as well as crewmembers have testified that they saw NOTHING but the Turner Joy and the Maddox, and NO TORPEDO BOATS. Shortly afterwards, Stockdale was sent on the first raid over North Vietnam, and was shot down.

On the downside, the narration at times is hard to hear due to the background being too loud. Also, some of the scenes used in the video presentation of the Battle of Hamburger Hill for instance, have nothing to do with that battle, but are in fact from previous battles such as Dak To June 66, where B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 320 Field Artillery, was overran. This might be ok if it was a simulation of the fire fight, using actors, but I don't think it's a good idea to splice together footage from other battles and use it in one battle.

Strangly edited and out of place music is just the beginning of my criticisms. Though it purports to be a doc about Vietnam from 1945-75 this is mainly about the Green Berets and other military forces with little to no focus on American or Southeast Asian politics. This is not a historical documentary as it simply does not provide the needed historical context. This is jingoistic, pro-military garbage that sidesteps the political situation and historical context leading up to the war, (or for that matter, politics DURING the war!)
