I’ve never seen these movies as insulting to the soldiers in Viet Nam. They’re very insulting to American politicians and military commanders who deliberately wasted American lives in a war they lacked the will to win. The most they ever really say about the soldiers is that if you’re stuck in an insane situation (like fighting a war your country doesn’t actually want to win) long enough you go insane yourself. Which given the PTSD rates we got out of Viet Nam isn’t far from reality.

Oh, do pound sand. Our “PTSD rates” are no different than any other war. I’m not in the mood to talk to somebody who parrots the crap the liberals and Left pushed during our war.

We had good men to serve with, a vicious enemy to fight, and nice people to protect. We were just saddled with treasonous twits to the rear.
