Synopsis by Rose of Sharon Winter

This program is one part of a two-volume series on the Vietnam War. It is told from the point of view of people in conflict, torn between loyalty to country and to deeply felt personal convictions. To be part of the peace movement or the war effort -- that was the dilemma for many. Television's historic broadcasts of live action in the war in Southeast Asia only made the choice harder for many. Interviews with those who answered their country's call to arms, as well as those who dodged the draft, provide a poignant study of contrasts for those faced with hard decisions in the conflict that divided a nation.
