This slander was discredited years ago. Many of the "Vietnam vets" were REMFs who made up their stories, soldiers who never set foot in Vietnam, or people who never served at all. It is sad that this ancient lie is resurrected.

Not in this reviewer's mind. I call your attention to the opening line.This extraordinary documentary, made in 1972 and having its first theatrical release, not only revisits events during the Vietnam War that have uncanny resonance today..There will be no one in the theater saying that these people were REMFS making up lies; that congress could find no substantiation for the fabrications that are in this film.

This bears repeating.
Welcome home and thank you for your service.

As a cook, I committed daily atrocities in Vietnam.

CBOT aka SOS was an atrocity by the time we got through making it! :)
