If you did not serve in the military don't bash this movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2002)

If you did not serve in the military, don't bash this movie as did Boojob.357. Many of us that served in Viet Nam appreciate a movie like this.It shows how the enemy, too, bravely fought, and what war can do to both sides, especially the families. Those that dislike this movie, are those that would never serve to protect America, as did many of our politicians, whom back then were draft dodgers. Don't talk the talk, if you've never walked the walk. Besides, this movie gives us Hispanics [ like Puerto Ricans], credit for serving our country; not like "Saving Private Ryan", where Hollywood forgot that we Hispanics have proudly served, and many have been awarded the "Congressional Medal of Honor" I'm proud to say that I served with the 5/7 A Company, and 2/7 D Company, 1966-67, and a combat wounded veteran.
