Title: Disheartening, sad treatise of the Viet Nam War...
Review: ... but a tale properly told.While I wasn't a grunt in Viet Nam, I was a Marine and could identify with all the emotion of this saga.The only thing I would take issue with is Cupoto's treatment of anyone who outranked him. There were a lot of good high ranking line and staff officers in Viet Nam to go with the type Cupoto describes. It's a shame he couldn't give them a fair shake.It's a shame things turned out as they did in Viet Nam. The Domino Theory was as valid in the beginning and real reason for concern. It turned into crummy war fought by some very good men. It's a shame that their efforts, patriotism and heroism are not fully appreciated.
