Wouldn't it be great if our esteemed thinkers put their minds to solving the logistics problems facing distribution of aid in Puerto Rico instead of engaging in endless circle jerks about this being "Trump's Katrina"? How about focusing on what's needed and writing and calling our elected reps and the business community to keep things moving?
In my review of episode 8, I said:
Tet was like the chain reaction phase of an A-Bomb - it's all over in 30 nanoseconds; but it takes another whole second for the enormous energy released to begin to become manifest macroscopically.
That energy should have ended the war in 1968. Instead, we got Nixon, who prolonged it for another seven years. Nixon was what nuclear weapons people call "a tamper".
Some of you might remember my Autumnal reading and music list included the following suggested book:
My Price is Right by Tom Price, secretary of health pillaging. In this, Dr. Tom explains how to become obscenely rich investing in health stocks that he controls.
It now appears that Price (whom I refuse to recognize as a physician) has boondoggled his way into the public ire. His crime is spending inordinate amounts of other people's money jet-setting.
General comment:
This series should really should be named "Grunts of Vietnam" because everything else is background, except a little for air support and helicopters. That explains how they will be able to cover the last six years of the war in only two episodes. Those years aren't about grunts. Operation Linebacker (1972) didn't happen to grunts. Watergate didn't affect grunts.
Another week, another revelation.

Doesn't count as American apparently, not real Americans because 'brown people", don't speak Americanese and anyway they are not devout republicans. See Texas and Florida and anyway they cant vote in 'real' Americans elections.
