Bill Hahn//\\ Ken Burns: The War (101* d) RE: Ken Burns: The War 28 Sep 07


Ranger Steve---so true.   There is so much more to this than the U S involvement which this series focuses on. When documetaries are made--no matter how well they are made (and this is) it would be better were the other parties, the causes, and all the other matters included. This way it becomes a one sided kudo to us.

On another note---at what point in time will the PBS stations and teh History channels finish fighting WW2.   While history can teach us lessons I believe we have gotten that already and the world, sadly, has changed and warfare is different today.

Would that there were no wars but re-living our past as an endless loop serves no purpose. Strategy has changed from Revolutionary Times, The Maginot Line, Rommel's tactics, Ike's plan, and even the return to American Revolutionary tactics by the opposition in Nam.
