Not that it matters much, but I couldn't really get through the Burns documentary because it had basically nothing to add to the 1983 PBS documentary

I don't know. It just bugs me when someone famous rehashes old material and gets credit for it.
As for My Lai, war atrocities are part of war, and that one wasn't anything special. It was actually the South Koreans (in Vietnam) who were the masters at it, though pointing that out does nothing to help the media's overarching agenda.
