Default WHY THE HECK!!! - 04-20-2003, 05:49 PM
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:

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.

"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.

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:

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