Thanks for the responses. I also have nothing but the greatest respect for all of our men and women in the armed forces. There really is no way to convey how thankful I am for them. Especially the kids out there right now…
Artifact I believe the last part you are referring to was the portion about the two mexican american soldiers. The documentary was actually completed but there was a big hullabaloo from mexican civil rights groups claiming that the portrayal was incorrect due to the exclusion of soldiers with that heritage. Thus I think he put that in after the completion.
I am not really sure what his intention of the documentary was. If I recall Burns is not like an ultra conservative guy.
