Re: True to form.
I've seen some "true to form" documentaries about Pearl Harbor, The Holocaust, WWI, WWII... and I didn't see any "John Wayne slant" to them. Those older documentaries tried to make the viewers feel as if they were there. Having 'embed' reporters in the field will definitely add additional information to what it was like first hand along with the imagery in photos and on film. No doubt, technology has given us instant documentaries.
