The Big Red One (Post #88)

This one is from the early 80's, it's well worth searching out. Lee Marvin plays a war-hardened sergeant leading a band of young soldiers as they liberate a concentration camp. Mark Hamill (Luke in Star Wars) played one of the recruits. Very powerful film. Don't want to spoil the ending for anyone but it's damn memorable.

I haven't read any mention of "Go Tell The Spartans", one of the earliest movies about Vietnam that was relatively unpoluted by the anti-war philosophy. Starred Burt Lancaster, very hard to find.
