How we can use these

While watching these documentaries, I decided that, since both were pretty objective and didn't seem to have hidden agendas outside informing people about what actually happened, I would try to find ways for us to use these two films.
Bush's War showed a lot about the lying/deception involved before the war started, and I think that we can use this footage (perhaps?) or at least the facts behind the footage in our comparison between the two Wars (Iraq and Vietnam). Since one of the people involved, Richard Armitage, was a Vietnam Veteran, perhaps we could use that in showing how we haven't learned from past mistakes and if we'd been educated we might not have been so easily seduced into making those same mistakes.
Obama's War showed more of the strategies involved in the two wars, and both were very similar. The main focus of course was trying to get on the people's side, and as with Vietnam the soldiers aren't/weren't doing a great job with it. This could also be used in comparing the two. There was one part where one of the villagers says that they wouldn't be of any help to the soldiers because they have no planes, trucks or guns. This is the same sort of reaction that the Vietnamese had in Hearts and Minds, where they also had that "you being here is ridiculous" sort of tone.
With regards to the shooting styles in both, I felt like there wasn't much to learn from the films. They both had your basic interview style, with footage shown with the voiceover of the person being interviewed. I liked all of the firsthand footage in Obama's War, but we can't really get anything like that. We could use some clips from these though... Just saying...
I found both to be fairly boring, due to them being by PBS and not trying to say anything too radical. I would've rather seen something like Fahrenheit 911 or something, even though it obviously has insane rhetoric involved, unlike these (for the most part... Bush's war was very negative towards him, but it presented enough info about what actually happened that it's justified, at least in my mind.)
