Let’s face it, when the truth is told, obvious lies become apparent.
And MANY lies have been told for the last 40 years plus concerning the Vietnam War. Americans were not told that we were fighting the Communists, nor that we were fighting with the South Vietnamese, whose “tours” often lasted a decade or more.
The few movies made about the Vietnam War, by and large, portrayed the American Soldiers and Marines as less than honorable and full of moral failings. Most of America never was told about the thousands upon thousands of South Vietnamese imprisoned by the Communists. Most of the South Vietnamese had no idea WHY the Americans left the fight, allowed the Communist north to takeover and subjugate and kill thousands in South Vietnam.
Ride the Thunder fills in the gaps of our country’s understanding of the war.
