I didn’t think this movie was realistic,great visuals and sound tracks though,most of the Vietnam war movies I saw were the” Hollywood version “ with one exception some of the scenes in the movie “Platoon “( Oliver Stone) were dead on ,especially the first portrayal of a night ambush with the rain and mosquitoes,goddamn, gave me flashbacks,I served in the 4th Infantry Division as a grunt in the Central Highlands 1966/67,Welcome Home Brothers.

I'm Sure Many Of We Non-Combatants
Have Been Wondering The Same.

I Can't Imagine Anyone Having Been In Combat
And NOT Being Affected By It In Some Manner Or Another,.
It MUST Take A Toll On Both The Body And Ones Mind....
