One of the best Vietnam movies about youth

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2003)

This movie tells about what squad life was like in Vietnam. Sean Penn plays Tony Merserve, a young officer, only 20 years old!!! and he does a good job playing the part. I think that the railroad scene was the most dramatic of all. It shows how messed war can actually be and what type of things are done behind the front lines. All the actors were good actually, including Clark, played by Don Harvey who I really admired as a fearless soldier!!!
