Spielberg... WWII v. Vietnam

I can't remember who said it but I agree with whoever said that the article was a little bit long, although I could see that it was really well written, it did get a little tedius. But as for the question of why Steven Spielberg chooses not to make any movies about Vietnam while he's made two about WWII, I think it could be for a mix of reasons. One being that the Vietnam War was one that we did not win, and since so many lives were lost, I think its safe to say that you might not be able to get that "feel good" feeling from watching a movie about tons of Americans dying for a lost cause than you would from seeing the story of the Americans that came to the rescue of innocent Jews trapped in Holocaust camps in WWII. Also, as we saw in Platoon, there were many actions by the Americans that might have been viewed as less than flattering, such as the bombing of Cambodian villages and the slaughtering of innocent Vietnamese. Also, I think this was brought up as well that the subject of WWII could just simply be interesting to Steven Spielberg. Yes, he has never made any movies about Vietnam, but i don't think he has made any about WWI or The Gulf War either.
