Video Description

In 1969, WCCO reporter Al Austin and photojournalist Gordon Bartouche traveled to the Vietnam War front lines and followed nearly a dozen soldiers from across Minnesota as they battled overseas thousands of miles away from home. Their work, called Grunt's Little War, won national awards, including a Peabody. This is the original, unedited version of the documentary as broadcast in 1969. It uses offensive language and reflects attitudes of that time.
