Negative Positive
Title: - As accurate as you can get on Vietnam -
Review: I was in headquarters company 1/3, Philip Caputo's unit in Vietnam. I didn't know him but the movie is the most accurate I have seen on this subject. Although, I haven't seen many about Vietnam because they were to depressing for me to watch. I watched this movie because a coworker told me about it 20 years ago. It wasn't pushed by Hollywood like other movies. It portrays accurately what that war quickly became. 1/3 was the first Marine combat unit in Vietnam in March 1965. This unit set the standards for this war. Nothing exactly to be proud of, just the truth. It's not the blood and guts but rather the mindset of the high ranks. We went through 3 CO's in six months. I can guess why the first two were replaced.
