Only the smells are missing...

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2003)

Having "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt" during Tet 68, my feeling is that, like 'We Were Soldiers Once...' and 'Saving Private Ryan', the combat scenes are are about as close as you can get on film outside of a documentary.
The only thing missing from all of three are the smells. But then again, the smell of blood, guts, and cordite mixed together wouldn't help sell much popcorn at the theater.
My only real complaint is they didn't get into President Clinton refusing to let the on scene commander use any armor, or AC-130 gunship, support enough. Making tactical level decisions from Washington was a critical mistake then, as it was in previous conflicts.
