No problem, Jay.
All in all,
'The War' was a pretty good documentary. But it might better have been called
'America's War,' as it was totally US-centric and gave short shrift to our allies who actually bore the brunt of it.
My main objection to
'The War' is the fact that PBS allowed political organizations to preview the 'documentary' and force revisions in it. The result is
'The War' as we in 2007 would like it to have been, rather than
'The War' as it was in 1941-45.
Guess I can't get comfortable with race advocates dictating some of the 'history' being presented to Americans. Rewriting history to spotlight the exceptions simply conceals the ugly fact that racism was rampant - and accepted - at that time, and minorities were largely relegated to supporting roles. How can we learn from history when the lessons are being erased?
