I just got this movie on DVD, wow this movie was soo great! My favorite movie in the world is Platoon, but this movie might be a close second!, it was soo much better than Full Metal Jacket, which was also a great movie. I know this post doesnt say much, but i loved the Directing, and defintaly the location and cinematogrophy, though what was best was the acting of Stan Shaw, as SGT.Tyrone Washington, he was just amazing in the film, but anyways, i hope they release it in actual stores, i got mine off of amazon.com, the qualite of my dvd is not great,sorta just average, but this movie really blew me away! Maybe we could petition or sumthing to get a company to put this dvd out in stores! well thnxs for readin this message! Semper FI! Carry on!

Great Film. Being in the "Nam" from 11-66 to 11-67, one scene really stands out to me. I was a corpsman assigned to a "grunt" outfit.

The scene is were they are taking "vital" supplies to another base, and along the way they get into a firefight,and a mortar attack. After the firefight, and a couple KIA's,and a few wounded, they open

up the back of the 6by, and the "vital" supplies was booze for the officers club!! JUust another day in the NAM!!
