@12andoverbendemover The Vietnamese sold the American troops heroin and weed and lsd and even gave them hores with all kind of sicness , just to break them down
Junior officers generally got treated with disrespect in Nam', Michael Dudikoff made an excellent Second Lieutenant that finally gets the respect from his men he deserves. I loved seeing him stand up to Basera (sp?). 0:18 - 0:42 So badass.
This is what my dad saw when he was with his platoon, especially when my father was captain in Vietnam! Went to the forest with 100 men, came out with 15 including my father.
What is wrong with Canon.? they should re-release this on dvd. this ones a great movie. old time favs. i have the Vhs and the cd soundtrack. i listen to the cd whenever i go for a walk in the deep woods. Nice. lookin around for charlie
@Godzilla3601 good point...but helmets do have the possibility of deflecting the bullet and it shields the users head from small bits of shrapnel, etc...there are many survior accounts where helmets have actually saved their lives
@Homie2576 ... I think the Sgt. Mac shot him not to be dishonored by addicted or may not report that he died by overdose .. I think that Mac thought it to be honored as a hero who died in combat and the integrity of the pack care and the unit is questioned.
damn, does anyone know what Mac says between 9:01 and 9:04, whateva he says it seems like a badass line for the moment that he's in, sounds something like, " Where's the fear ?", somebody help me plz
ahh. the memories. CLASSIC. this here is my baby next to PLATOON 1986. and firebase gloria and the iron triangle. why is is that the best ones are always the unheard of .... ? 80s are the best in everything.... movies, music, shows, concerts.
the sgts weapon is a car15 which was made by colt in limited numbers for SF and others that needed shorter weapon like armored personel

I'm well aware that there are far better Nam' flicks but 9:15 seriously gives me goosebumps.

@Homie2576 It was a drug overdose, he took drugs because it calms your nerves.
Especially in a war like Vietnam i think it was sort of a day to day routine of soldiers smoking pot etc.
