Another highly underrated VN movie is "The Siege of Firebase Gloria." Based on a true story, the tactics and action are highly realistic. R. Lee Ermey is the leading character and does this part flawlessly.

"The Siege of Firebase Gloria." I watched this movie as a required part of Marine Corps OCS PLC training. It is not forgotten by those who were there, I don't think.

You're right. Excellent Vietnam War movie. Highly underrated. In the same league as "Hamburger Hill".

Another highly underrated VN movie is "The Siege of Firebase Gloria." You got that right. Easily 100 times the movie of that angst-ridden pretender.

If he wasn't a SGM in real life,he should have been!
