In 1961, JFK authorized berets for use exclusively by the U.S. Special Forces. Preparing for an 12 Oct. visit to the Special Warfare Center at Ft. Bragg, word was sent to the Center's CO, for all SF soldiers to wear green berets as part of the event. The President felt that since they had a special mission, SF should have something to set them apart from the rest. In 1962, he called the green beret "a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom."

Sadly enough, John Wayne died patriotically from radioactive dust he breathed in for a movie near St George, Utah. He gave his life so that Americans could feel comfortable about A-bomb blasts. We appreciate Wayne's sacrifice as we could never had built a better bomb without him. Rest in peace.

@WhiteArmy1918 Too many pussy ass liberals running Hollywood and in our government. It would be way too politically incorrect to make a moive promoting the military. I fully agree with you, what a great remake this would be. Even if it were Vietnam related.

Got to love what Mel Gibson did now that was what happend not the smoking dope all the time in the bush sure some smoked but you had to keep your wits to yourself
this film was pro vietnam movie...that was ballsy.
but ill be damned if any asshole says this movie is bad.
it has the duke, george tekai AND chuck norris (small bit but he's there)
but know, critics want this movie gone from history. Yet shit made by oliver "stoned during my time in duty" can make hate movies and he's a genius.
fucking hollywood.
