Dear America

I liked the way the movie progressed through time. It started near the beginning of the Vietnam war, and moved along the years. You could start to see how everyone's attitudes changed over time. I thought it was interesting how no one really knew why they were there. I know history says that there was no clear objective throughout the war, but just seeing real letters from the past showing how no one knew what they were there for was a different point of view, or form of rhetoric. It kind of takes the same outline as O'Brien's book They Things They Carried. There's more or less simply a series of attitudes changing through the war, shown through people's letters.
