Greatest war movie in a while!

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2002)

I first must say that I am a big Mel Gibson fan. I really have enjoyed his other movies and was expecting to enjoy this one, even though I'd heard good and bad about it. I went into the theater and was shocked at how good it was. This was a topic that has been avoided for far too long and Vietnam should be brought up. We should not shed light on the corrupt politics that needlessly slaughtered 58,000 boys for no lasting gain, but on the bravery and courage of the men who fought. These boys fought because their country asked them to, and they did it bravely and honorably. The movie is the best yet which shows the story of the men who fought and died against almost impossible odds for the sake of their country. I highly recommend this movie.
