watch this movie before u think about joining the armed forces

Rating: 10/10 (12 February 2007)

platoon is the best Vietnam war film that was ever made it is so realistic u will be transported into the Nam yourself with the grunts on the front line in the movie with each character having different traits and the two commanding officers Barnes and alias having opposing personality's which creates a civil war between the platoon and the subject which is Charlie Sheen a educated young man who joins the war effort for patriotic purposes but soon discovers the true reality of war i have given this movie a 10 out of 10 vote because i feel this movie has saved my life Oliver stone made this movie having served in Vietnam himself to expose the horror and insanity of war which exposes the propaganda tactics of American and British government's which try to get young men and women to join the armed forces for political purposes only to be killed or maimed in action when i was 16 i saw this movie and it made me think twice about joining the British army i thank god now as i could have been drafted to Iraq and maybe killed or injured in a pointless war effort which is similar to what vets went through in Vietnam remember this is only my opinion yours maybe different but watch this and enjoy a masterpiece of movie making peace :-)
