00:15Vietnam is a hellhole, killing field, hamburger hill,
00:20Kherson, My Lai Mexico, POWs, Viet Cong.
00:28Everything happened in Vietnam.
00:32The story of the United States in Vietnam was a story of ignorance, hubris, arrogance.
00:38It tended to be evil, but I don't think it was intended to be evil.
00:45We learned how big the gap was between what presidents were saying and what they believed.

02:16We were playing God.
