I'm sure it will be engrossing. But I'm finding it very difficult to get around the fact Burns (from what I've heard) didn't include anything about Latino or Native American soldiers in WWII. Yea, he's rightfully including the obvious Asian and African American angles, but leaving out mention of the famed Code Talkers or the Bushmasters, which MacArthur referred to as "the greatest fighting combat team ever deployed for battle" seems a pretty egregious oversight. I guess there will be something tacked onto the end of the program about these groups. But with 14 1/2 hours, I think he really blew it, and I'm not sure I can forgive that. </p>
