In this part 1 episode Kara takes some of us down memory lane and the rest of us down a vivid history lesson into the factors that resulted in America sending literal teenagers to the jungles of Vietnam in the mid 1960s. Hopefully by the end of this episode you'll be able to go to your history teacher (assuming they're still alive or not locked up in a retirement community) and tell them how was it that America got involved in Vietnam and probably even be able to teach them a lesson or two in the process.
In part 2, Kara moves on from what started the Vietnam War and how America got involved to why the issue created so much conflict in an already conflicted America. There are race riots, gay rights activists, anti-space travel issues, along with a multitude of other internal issues in America that when combined made things so much worse for the boys fighting in the war itself. Not to mention, if you ever had aspirations of being the President of the United States, the question must be asked: why in God's green earth would anyone want this job?
