'We Were Soldiers Once... And Young'

The only accurate and unbiased account of battle in Vietnam. Read the book by Joseph Galloway and then see the movie by Mel Gibson.

Its a classic, Jhoffa; especially that part about the Dalai Lama, even though the "Lama" tried to stiff Carl on the tip:

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice. <8^)

This will surprise many coming from an atheist, but my favorite movie of all time is Becket, starring Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton.
