WHY THE HECK!!!
 

In the Movie, Platoon, about the Vietnam War, I noticed that the Americans were killing each other. Why? There's no honor in killing your fellow mates...how ironic... cry:

C'mon people answer me here!!! oOo:

It's called, "Fragging." It started in the Vietnam Conflict (War), where soldiers would kill their commanding/high ranking officer, just so they wouldn't have to go on patrols. It really did happen.

But everyone was killing each other...the whole team...then that guy picked up an AK-47 and shot a helpless guy...

If your talking about platoon its because barnes killed Sgt. Elias and charlie were friends

"We had not fought the enemy, we fought ourselves..." What's that got to mean?

I believe that the platoon was split 50/50 between the guuy that wanted to murder that villager and the guy who stopped him, so the murderous crowd decided to take out the normal group when the gooks started attacking.

megalith how fuckin old are you, 10? Do you know anything at all about 'nam and the people who fought it? Most of them were dirt poor and about half were african americans and when they got some preppy ass white boy given them orders im not surprised they tked a few

My uncle was in Vietnam, part of the 1st Cavalry Division, and I just can't imagine all of the things he's seen.

I guess you are too young to grasp the point of the movie.

I'm not 10...and obviously you aren't old enough to control your temper(Blitz especially) over a simple question and if you were mature, you wouldn't be guessing how old I am because you don't even know who I am. Plus, Blitz, look at my signature. Grow up and follow the damn rules.

God, I never went to the Vietnam War so don't ridicule me for not participating because that was about 40 years ago, so I suggest you keep your stupid mouth shut before trying to insult someone for not knowing everything about the Cold War!!! evil:

Oh BTW I only saw the last part of the movie...

It would make sense if you saw the movie...that solves everything.

holy shit, my dad was in the 1st Cavalry Div in Vietnam

You're too young to be swaering like that sonny.

Is there a legal age for swearing.

My uncle was there from 67-68, when was your dad there?

Are you guys frickin serious? My uncle was also in the 1st Cav. He was a minesweeper, he handled dogs. Im not sure what time period though.

STFU N00B!

my dad was on a destroyer...USS Mullany DD528 i think. One time some black guy went nuts and stabbed 6 people on his ship, he was going after some KKK guy who kept calling him a nigger, dumbass rednecks!

Vance, find out what years.

ill find out tomorrow, because my parents went to sleep.
