Interesting interview - aside from his patently transparent glorification of war film, Ken Burns stumbles in some parts in delivering a coherent message to the sheeple...notable example...

Burns said as a paraphrased response to Maher's suggestion that our troops can't find anything important point to fighting in the Iraq War except to continue do so for their brothers, l'esprit de corps:

"Yes, it is amazing to see the flag flying at half-mast at all times at West Point - it goes to show that our troops are willing to fight and sacrifice for necessary as well as unnecessary wars."

Hello?

Yeah, he is too careful with his words.

But, his documentary shows how astonishingly different this preemptive war business is from WWII.

Not only from what kind of war, what kind of people we were then, but also the incredible amount of manufacturing that took place - jobs for all. What a contrast with today! We couldn't go to war today with China, they make everything we need for war!

It is still a very worthwhile series, the personal storytelling by those who were there, is well done.
