Interesting footage, but it doesn't achieve anything beyond Hearts and Minds, In the Year of the Pig, or any of the other docs.

Good footage is good footage, I guess, and it certainly does a good job of providing a slice of war that is not sensationalized. But that also makes it feel like it's missing a big aspect of the war and lacking the depth of other docs on the subject.
