As a former Vietnam Vet, I related to this film, though it was a little too much Hollywood. In 1967 to 1968, when the Tet Offensive started, I was in Air Rescue and our chopper was shot down at a fire base south of Da Nang,. We were stranded for a long time, and were hit by a large superior force of V.C. and lost a lot of men during that siege. To relive it on screen, or close to it, sent shivers up my spine and brought a tear or two. Ever experience combat, from a soldiers' view? Didn't think so. Next time you have a thought about actual combat, "forget it." You weren't there.I eventually made a career out of the military and have repeated this scenario on several occasions, from Granada, Panama,Desert Storm, Bosnia, etc. Tell me about it.
