H-Diplo Roundtable XXI-3 on The Vietnam War

This basic question about the Vietnam War, which author and Vietnam veteran Karl Marlantes asks within the first two minutes of the eponymous Ken Burns-Lynn Novick film, frames much of the succeeding 18 hours of the landmark documentary that premiered on PBS in September 2017.
