J and I starting watching the History Channel's series - Vietnam in HD. his is an incredible series. Today we watched 2 out of the 6 episodes.
The Beginning (1964-1965)/Search & Destroy (1966-1967)
In 1965, Operation Rolling Thunder roars across the skies over North Vietnam and the first U.S. ground troops land in the South. American soldiers are outnumbered in the Ia Drang Valley, the first major battle of the war. Then, American troops launch widespread "search and destroy" operations; body count, not territory, becomes the measure of success in Vietnam. Charles Brown fights for survival on the bloody slopes of Hill 875 and at home, the American public begins to question U.S. military strategy.
