Sad the VietNam War did not end where this movie ended.

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2003)

I think this must be the most realistic view of this terrible war.I also think that noone really understood what went on over there except the ones who had the first hand experience. This movie gave me some insight as to what happened to my younger brother who fought as a Green Beret 1968-1970. He wrote a song about his Viet Nam experience and dedicated it to those he left behind...."Too Many Heroes Have Died." His song marched through my mind while I watched this movie, with more meaning than I had before....."Too many mothers have cried, to keep this world satisfied while too many heroes have died" and..."the stories of valour seem not to matter when too many heroes have died." One line stood out to me, spoken by Col.Hal Moore, that I have seen lived out by my brother and others who returned: "I'll never forgive myself...for surviving, when so many men have died." An excellent movie.....my thanks to all of those who served and died and to all of those also who were left standing.
