CNN B roll and old guys talking in their garage

Take a bunch of CNN footage, some old X Green Berets talking in the garage, some maps and some graphics and you have this documentary. I only made it through about the first 15 minutes and started thinking to myself I'll just read the book.

Not a Complete Picture

This documentary, and the brief synopsis offered here leaves the viewer/reader with the impression that military forces from the United States alone were involved. As is often the case with American documentary/fictional cinematography, focus is placed almost entirely on the American element leaving the viewer to assume that no other country participated. This leads to embarrassing situations when historical fact is challenged. Therefore, keep in mind that this documentary is representative of the American forces, specifically, the units mentioned and the brave men who formed them.
