Some veterans are not happy about an episode of the CBS reality show “Amazing Race.” The show recently aired footage of contestants using a downed B-52 memorial in Hanoi as a prop, and requiring them to learn a Vietnamese song praising their communist system. In a letter to CBS President and CEO Leslie Moonves, the Veterans of Foreign Wars said CBS failed to exercise executive oversight about a time in American history that continues to be misunderstood, misrepresented and stereotyped.
