I remain puzzled why they have never made a film of John Ripley and the bridge at Dong Ha during the 1972 Easter Offensive.
Yes, for those interested, “The Easter Offensive” by Turley is a great read on Dong Ha and the larger offensive.
Could it be that this story would have to cast the U.S and South Vietnamese troops in a positive light? Remember almost all Hollywood producers were either draft dodgers, if they were old enough, or were fed the left wing negative propaganda taught in the public school system since 1973. Also, there are still politicians like Kerry and Clinton who desperately want to play down anything positive about the time they were actively trying to sell out the South Vietnamese to their commie friends in Hanoi.
