Vietnam in HD [History Channel]

[cronus71]

I finished watching this series of six episodes, it's narrated by Michael C Hall (Dexter).

Great series, which really tells the story of what happened, what caused the war, how it was fought, great individual stories etc.

I was surprised on how much hill fighting (Hamburger Hill) actually took place, and how it all seemed to be in vein. I mean, once the US troops have taken over a hill, they just abandon them letting the NVA/VC return to them without a fight. I guess it was because it was a "body-count" war more than anything else. I had no idea either, that Laos and Cambodia were used so much for the NVA/VC to retreat to.

I recommed watching these, perhaps you can view them on the History Channels website, I couldn't so I had to torrent them. Here's the link http://www.history.com/shows/vietnam...-the-beginning
