I am someone who was greatly affected by Vietnam movies such as "The Deer Hunter" when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's.

The intense violence was so shocking and inhumane, that I find it hard to watch any movie on Vietnam.

I find out now, that the movie makers had that in mind. By focusing on the horror and the killing, they were trying to turn America's youth into pacifists, afraid to fight for freedom because war was bloody and people died!

What was left out of the typical Vietnam movie was the very real fight between Good and Evil, and the reality that Communism wants to see AMERICA dead!

I have yet to see WE WERE SOLDIERS because of a remnant of the brainwashing that got to me years ago. But, I'm going to push past that "feeling" and rent the DVD!

From what I've read about Mel Gibson's movie, it is one of the best Vietnam movies because it returned respect to the Soldier and it also returned MEANING to the war effort, restoring Valor and Honor to the cause of fighting for FREEDOM and also to fighting against EVIL!

I'll let you know after I watch WE WERE SOLDIERS, because with Hillary Clinton and her Communist ties to China...WE ARE ALL SOLDIERS NOW!!!

Best regards to all those who helped keep America Free!
