We saw it last week - definitely good and worth seeing.
I think I missed a lot of nuance and may want to see it again.

was how continuing the war was justified: 10% to help the Vietnamese, 20% to halt the spread of communism, and the remaining 70% to avoid the loss of influence / embarrassment of losing.
