Great Vietnam War Movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2017)

After having such an interest in history through school, and wars throughout my teenage years , and my Grandfather serving in WW2, i've always loved a Great War movie, and this one doesn't disappoint. We were soldiers covers the first , and one of the biggest battles of the entire Vietnam War. It captures the hearts and minds of the viewer, and really gives the audience a sense of what war/jungle fighting would really be like. It shows not just the war, but the struggle of the families at home in the States, who after all , were just as emotionally involved. It shows patriotism, love, loyalty, courage and spirit through a lot of the main characters, and the battle scenes are truly terrific. Saving Private Ryan and this movie are the best war movies to date, in my opinion anyway.Even if war movies aren't your thing, at least watch We Were Soldiers for some learning of both history , and what it takes to be a soldier in combat.
