Anyone Watching Ken Burns’ ‘Vietnam’?

Lots of ugly memories of the 60’s and early 70’s. Things I'd forgotten ...
- - Nixon was a much worse SOB than Trump. LBJ believed Nixon committed treason during the ’68 campaign, but didn’t comment publicly in case it hurt the peace process.
- 30,000 Canadians volunteered and joined the US armed forces, to go to Vietnam. I wonder how they feel about it now?
- Jane Fonda... Just, wow...! I can’t believe her country has forgiven her.
- I got to know a number of draft dodgers at university in the early 70’s – hard to imagine the decision they had to make.
