Unhappy

Watch this film and then decide if America are fit to dictate global policy. I know it is fiction but **** like this happened in this justified war.

IMHO of course

Excellent film and my favourite 'nam movie. Tom Berenger and Willem Dafoe are outstanding.

A different war and a lot older film so cant compare it to Saving Private Ryan. Both are great films.

Just a shame that most Hollywood films rewrite history
