I’m thinking that a movie that depicts our troops as heroes who believe in their mission (as opposed to either killers or victims) could not get financing in the Hollywood of today.

Depending of course on how they play it, the My Lai story has both.

Calley, Medina and their men as killers.

Thompson and his crew as heroes.
