Exemplary television
Unique among the media, television has the ability to combine words and moving images to tell a story. This is an example of the best that television has to offer.
The generals explain, in their own words, why various presidents (and their secretaries of state) decided to take us into wars, and the difficulties they had in implementing those decisions. They reveal the frequent disconnects between the politician's points of view, and the boots-on-the-ground realities of the military commanders.
This provides background to a foreign policy that, since 1962, has left thousands of American service members killed, maimed, or psychologically broken. It leaves the viewer to decide whether the sacrifice was worthwhile.
