i don’t recall Hackworth going on about all that and your guys’s site may have a foot in accuracy
but on that same site he describes Platoon as a great war movie
let me tell you something.
that is the first time I have ever heard an American Combat Vet list PLATOON...that piece of filth movie directed at our troops..as a great war movie...I came of age in that era..born 1957...I still recall my shame when i realized the reaction when I asked a combat vet buddy of mine who had been capMarine in 1970 and I asked if he had seen Platoon...whew..
so I’m suspect of your link or at least the author’s intent
to his credit...at least he didn’t call Casualties of War a great movie
On my Second tour, I came in Country with the Battalion Commander of the 4/9th seemed like a good guy, as much as a lowly Sergent can determine. He F*cked up, as he admits, Hoc Mon was a major hot spot until May, 1968 but then they all got dead, a good thing.
