I almost felt sorry and embarrassed for Lt George Coker in the movie, because he said so naive (and moronic) things.
Does anyone know if he still today has the same opinions regarding war? Is he even alive today?
There is an article about him in Wikipedia.

lol, "interesting" guy.
the movie itself is too neutral and i dont know how people reacted to it and coker.
did he really travel the US and told children that they won the war? that they fought this difficult to understand war and stopped after they realized that they had won?

I wonder how Coker felt about that, and about his earlier boasts that the US had "won" the war. I hope it's caused him a lot of grief, knowing that he failed to defeat the people of Vietnam, these "primitive, backwards people" that he thought he was so superior to.
Did you also take pleasure in all the innocent people Minh slaughtered? What a sick *beep* you are.
shareCoker was a genuine hero a better man than you or me!
