: Having seen this film only 3 hours ago, I am interested to know what real vets felt/saw. This film was so horrific, and downright terrifying, I wasn't exactly sure how to feel. In, short, I was scared to sign my draft card!!!! My Pop served in 'nam, and I really didn't know how to take his stories..let alone his friends'. this movie, in short scared the hell outta me. If any vets have a comment, I would like to hear it. I am a teacher, and would like to accurately convey (minus the gore and mayhem....if that is that can be done)the true facts of war. I know that this cannot be done without actually being there, but our children have to know that they are not indestructable, and that war/violence is truely terrible.
