I've been seeing promos for FOX's new series, Over There for a while, and musing that while Bush's war gets a scripted drama produced by Bochcco, for Johnson's war we got news coverage of helicopter crashes, napalmed villages and body bags.
I was going to give it a pass, since war doesn't interest me, if that makes sense/doesn't make me sound like too much an ignorant fool, until I heard half of today's Fresh Air. It sounds really good.
