What is Ghost Wars? Not familiar with that one.

I just think that for something of this importance, at this time, should be historical fact, not scenes altered for dramatic effect. Sadly, enough Americans get their "history" and even current / recent events from dramas on film and the boobtube. It would be wise I think for people to sacrafice a little bit of ratings for historical fact. This is a little different from Animal House and how the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.
John I see your point. I think many of us have enough knowledge of the factual History to put the dramatization and summarization of that History into perspective but I'm sure that many do not have an understanding of the actual facts and are left with Hollywoods interpretation.
