I guess I'm on an anti-war kick right now. It is so easy for us to forget that our country is fighting two wars...most Americans are pretty insulated from the suffering of both vets and civilians (except that our government's resources are being diverted to war spending in ways that impact us "silently").
I came upon this very powerful and painful documentary about the Vietnam war, told by vets in Detroit. I think it should be required viewing in all high schools when talking about the Vietnam war.
