Vietnam Debrief - Graham Pike

I'm Graham Pike. I taught American history to teenagers for thirty-five years, and every year I watched the textbook give the Vietnam War four pages and move on. Four pages, for a war that took three boys from my own street and sent back two. So when I retired, I started collecting everything those four pages left out, the after-action reports, the declassified records, the letters home, and the accounts of the men who lived it. The Vietnam Debrief is where that collection gets opened, one story at a time: the jobs nobody wanted, the weapons that changed the men who carried them, the battles that never made the evening news, and the truths that took fifty years to surface. This channel is in honor of all the brave souls who went to Vietnam and paid the ultimate price.
