Biased, Overrated but Gut Wrenching Drama of Viet Nam

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 1999)

As an army officer with 36 years of service in both active and reserve components, I deplore the low ranking enlisted man's view of the war as gospel. As for fragging it was the junior officer who was killed by the enlisted man.
As for the action, time must be compressed so that a composite of actions is portrayed and that license is permitted. Viet Nam was not much of a war (compared to WW II) but it was the only one we had. We were insufficiently ruthless in the conduct of the war in Viet-Nam. Hanoi was never made to look like Hamburg, Dresden or Tokyo, that is bombing!!!!!
