Review title: Vietnam soldiers were NOT like this.
Product review: I spent a tour in Vietnam from '68-'69 and honestly cannot say much good about Stones' depiction of US soldiers. (Note: Stone's ridiculous movie 'Nixon' was roundly criticized as inaccurate. Stone responded with some comment that he was in the business of 'creating history'.) Stone is attempting a brainwashing operation here against the American public. Platoon depicts the oppressive atmosphere of Vietnam well, but his characterizations of the Troops and their interrelations are completely false. 'Platoon' relates to the Vietnam War as a sort of reverse propaganda effort. Kind of like an 'anti-GungHo' flick. The best sort of an anti-war flick is an accurate movie like 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'Hamburger Hill' not this sort of commie-prop that Stone has as his life's mission.
