You also have to remember, "Sclass12" that two soldiers could be in the same trench, not more then 15 yards apart and have different views on that certain battle and current state of the surroundings, etc.

It's THAT different, so that I've been told. However, I've never been in a combat situation, but I've had expierance in airsoft and paintball "battles" and after the skirmish me and my friends would have a totally different outlook on what happened.

Yeah, Apoc Now was a good film. I think WWS was just too squeaky clean for Vietnam.

Concurness again.

Seriously though, watch Platoon.....

Heh somebody used my pic. Anyway I think We Were Soldiers is an excellent movie. And it was filmed in Fort Benning, GA, and North Carolina. Other than that things are pretty accurate, and whoever said the movie only relies on gore, I think not. The first hour or so deals with Gibson's thoughts and family and preparing for war.

" Hey...when we film this Movie, let's do it exactly where it was Filmed, and I'm sure the Vietnamese Government won't care."

Dude, it's a movie. It looked like Vietnam to me. Vietnam has a melting pot of Terrain...........Again, watch Hamburger Hill. I think they have a Level in Vietcong just like it.

PS: Most Vietnam war movies are filmed in The Phillipines, with the exception of Apocalypse Now which was actually filmed in Southern Vietnam. I think WWS was filmed in South Carolina or something like that.
