Title: Ken Burns loses his way...
Review: Ken Burns is an extremely talented filmmaker. But with, The War, he has lost his way as an objective documentarian, exposing his political point of view in this most sensitive and important subject. I stopped watching this film within Disk 1 when he allowed an interviewee from Minnesota to state that the young men who joined the service did so for every other reason than patriotism. "It had absolutely nothing to do with patriotism." This is both blatantly false as well as an insult to the hundreds of thousands of WWII veterans. To allow this template to be placed upon the motivations of our American servicemen at the outset of the film was all I could take. I don't need to see any more of a film like this and will prefer to spend my WWII doc time watching unvarnished documentation of the war with the far more comprehensive, unbiased and educationally important serires, The World at War by the BBC.
