Platoon is every cliche about serving in VN lumped into one movie. A far more realistic movie is “Hamburger Hill.” Or the second half of “Full Metal Jacket” although that is cliche-riddled as well (just an interesting change from the jungle movies).
See Hamburger Hill. Far better (except for Dylan McDermott’s hair).
Will do. I will add that my father has yet to see “We Were Soldiers” but read the book and recommended it to me.
