Re: Captain Dale Dye wrote the script for Platoon, therefore I tend to believe it’s pretty much the way it was.

You must be smoking the same stuff as they did in Platoon to come up with Dale Dye writing the script. No where do I find anyone but Oliver Stone as having the writing credit...

Where in the world did you get this?

I'd like to know your source. And why you accept it as every other Platoon source that says Stoney wrote that POS all by himself!

Awaiting you reply...

I agree; Oliver Stone created it out his fertile, left-wing, anti-war brain.

Platoon is/was a POS!!!

Here is a quote from imdb.com about Stony:

Is a friend and admirer of Cuban Premier Fidel Castro, and shot a documentary about the world’s longest reigning Communist leader, titled Comandante (2003). It was to air on HBO in May 2003, but due to protests by anti-Castro Cuban-American activists, it was shelved until 2003.

That should clue everyone about this loony-tune jerk!!

Stony also directed Platoon.

Time to go grocery shopping. >:-}

Dye also was a technical advisor for the movie, and played a bit part in the movie, he was the one who said, “It’s a Lovely F’ing War” before ordering the napalm strike near the end of the movie.
