...projects head in no clear direction. While there is something attractive in running a number of experiments to get as broad a picture as possible of improvements that might "work" there is no assurance that the promising aspects of these experiments will be supported again and expanded upon. The scope of possible proposals becomes necessarily restricted, and proposals which plan significant changes in the relationship between students and instructors, between students and the departments or between one department and another must appear too broadly conceived.

The film's effect is to force the recognition that the military aimed at the complete destruction of life and culture in Vietnam for the sake of a supposedly higher purpose--the best interests of the United States. Nothing that obstructed progress could be spared, and almost any activity...
