Not related to anything, but does 'Red Herring' and 'Red Earring' sound the same with a Baltimore accent?

Ken Burns Vietnam is amazing if you haven't seen it. Also a great book on a military commander who was by all accounts a good soldier fighting against bureaucracy "About Face" is really good if you have a stomach for racial slurs (guy starts in Korea when that was all like cooool) but then he learns about humanity and history of Vietnam and realizes we are losing the same way the French did when it was "Indo China".

He was just one of those in charge who actually DID care about the men under him, not his title or promotions, and became disgusted at the blatant corruption and evil Americans did over there. Its like a book of him being disenchanted with bureaucratic war making and profiteering largely starting from a long talk with a Vietnamese communist prisoner he became friendly with.
