What I have seen of Oliver Stone's Viet Nam work (he served there) it is pretty well documented.
I sure agree with your second comment, though.
50,000 Americans and 1.5 million Vietnamese in a war that never should have happened.
Reminds me of a few other recent wars that "shouldn't have happened" in which lots of innocent people died.
