Review: A Dramaization of pure nonsense

Once I started this work of folly I was sorry I purchased it. The book may have a FEW correct details of Khe Sanh but not many. The writer depicts the main characters as brutal and sadistic Marines and they use any means to get what they want from prisoners, no matter what. The author fails at using the correct ammuntion for the M-16 and AK-47. Both used differnet calibers, not the 7.62/.308 NATO round as the author states. I feel this work of fiction would make any Marine ashamed. I am a Viet Vet and arrived in Country after the second Khe Sanh which this work is supposed to be about. Also all the descriptions of their sexual escapads these guy did with girl friends, etc, I found them to be disgusting and not needed in a book on Khe Sanh where many of our boys died.
