For those who have History channel, you may want to watch the 3 part series titled "Vietnam in HD". I have learned so much of the time lines and events that around Vietnam from watching the first two episodes. the series finishes up tonight. I'm sure it's on Demand or perhaps you may be able to order it through Netflix at some point in the future, so if this is your kind of thing, check it out!
This series brings war into your home like nothing before. The footage is horrifying, and the stories are heartbreaking. I've allowed the boys to watch it with Laine and I mostly because I want them to see that war is something that has far deeper impact than what they experience when watching movies, or playing video games.

thanks for the heads up- I have yet to see a good comprehensive treatment of Vietnam.

Here's a 5 Min. clip from the Documentary. It's one of the more emotional parts of the entire show. Laine couldn't watch it, and Cameron was upset by it as well. If you see the whole series the impact is a bit more significant because you get to know there individuals a little better. www.history.com/shows/vietnam-in-hd/videos/daily-life#coming-home
