135 - The Vietnam War - Part 1

from A Short Walk through Our Long History · host Clayton Mills

Well, last episode was kind of depressing, talking about JFK being assassinated and the end of American innocence.  And this episode, well, I guess it’s in the same theme, kinda. We’re talking about the Vietnam war, which is not the best period of American history.  Divisive, unpleasant, and another turning point in the way America was seen by the world, and how it sees itself.  This was originally going to be just one episode, but it was getting pretty long, so I’ve split it into two.  I guess that makes some sense anyway, since the Vietnam war lasted almost as long as World War 1 and 2 combined, and I did a total of 22 episodes on those two wars.  Kinda hard to condense Vietnam into one 20 minute episode.
