Where did this wannabe get the money?
10 March 2010
Really....did he steal it? He stole valuable minutes of our lives with a fantasy Vietnam film.

I say fantasy because NOTHING about this film in any way resembles the RVN that I fought and bled in.

And none of his characters would have lasted 1 day in the field.

There was no such infantry job as "tunnel rat".

Everyone in an infantry platoon sans Platoon: Leader, Sgt and Medic took their turn crawling in holes and walking point.

And if any moron puffed a stinking cigar when we were about to engage, I WOULD HAVE SHOT HIM.

Most of the so-called Vietnam war movies have no resemblance to what it was like and some like the Rambo and Chuck Norris films bordered on satire.

At least they were entertaining and often had SOME bit of help from a consultant.

This piece of garbage has NOTHING....... no entertainment value, poor actors, no direction, and a ridiculously dishonest portrayal of wartime Vietnam's jungle.

It's amazing that someone could throw away so much money in these hard times.
