It was interesting to me, as someone who hasn't been in a combat situation, to see what he battlefield looked like prior to the conflict...just a normal green firled that has grass that moves in the down draft caused by the helicopter blaades. Serene.
Those men are the soldiers of all wars, not special, but soldiers, as were the men who fought in WWII. Platoon is a cartoon.
