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.

Yes you are right, Vietnam has triple, double, and single canopy terrain, all which harvest different plant species and geographical features.

did you see the deleted scenes on the DVD. Apparently the old guy was scared that way (from what i remembered, correct me if im wrong) that he was a drill instructor or something, and he ordered all his men out of barracks with all their medals they have evr won. One guy comes out with no medals on. Old guy (then young) yells at him to go back and get them on. That guy comes back naked, with 2 Congressional Medal of Honors around his neck. And that's what made him all grumpy

Platoon is so far the best vietnam war movie. I highly recommend getting that, you can get WWS but you must get Platoon.

We were soldiers was accurate for the part of the war that it portrayed. It looked like it could have been filmed near where I live but with hills (which is basically where it was filmed, duh). But being a film, I understand that they have to take those liberties often.

Other than that, the movie is average at best. It started good, but the actual in country footage is only so-so.

And Apocalypse Now was filmed in the phillipines, not vietnam.

We Were Soldiers wasn't that bad. Ok, it wasn't the most realistic...so what? It had some large battles and lotsa gore. It's a good popcorn movie. Not everyone HAS to be a military purist, do they?

Just watch it and have some fun.
