Aloha... I have the script. I'm sorry to inform you that the movie will be a huge disappointment to folks who've read the book and for the Ia Drang vets. You will be surprised to know that the guy on the book cover [I take it that you know who he is] is not portrayed in the movie... might detract from Mel's phoney heroics... nor is the 2nd of the 7th mentioned, except derogatorily... what an insult... the 2nd saved Moore's arse... then they rescued Albany... just look on the Wall, man.... the 2nd took more casualties than any unit in Nam...
Then there's the bugle... Everyone in the 7th knows who took the bugle.... and everyone who knows will recognize that lie. At least the book is, and always will be, great.
I always answer pings to me and I am sorry I missed your earlier one, it was not on purpose to not post back to you.
I am sitting here and I do not know what to say,
I want this film to be true to the book so badly.
The book is the best I have ever read about the Viet Nam war.
And I have met thousands of Viet Nam Vets that would as I do want a film made that shows the bravery and truth of our wonderful fighting men (and women too that served ) that went to Viet Nam.
