Like the two earlier PBS series, the Netflix filmmakers draw on firsthand accounts from a variety of American and Vietnamese informants: military veterans, former officials, war correspondents, antiwar activists, and others.

The allegation that antiwar activists routinely abused American military personnel has become an article of faith since the 1980s, appearing in films, television programs, newspaper and magazine articles, and books.

No Sir!, both veterans and active-duty personnel formed an important part of the antiwar movement.

Was the antiwar movement hostile to military personnel?

Eight years before the U.S.-backed regime in South Vietnam collapsed, I stood with high school friends at Manhattan’s Penn Station on the night of April 15, 1967, waiting for a train back to Washington after attending the era’s largest antiwar protest so far.
