a an army veteran and i be deeply offend by this film . in my opinion and it be a disgrace to those who fight in the vietnam war . to say that the real sf soldier i knew be offend by this crap be an understatement . if the film be present a satire or even a a cartoon ( it be ) and it would have be good receive . but it be take seriously my many people and especially overseas . silly a it sound and wherever i go in europe in the late 80 people seem to judge me and american in general by this film . unrealistic . hmm and let see . a monosyllabic and muscle bound cretin be pull off a prison work gang to go on a secret mission to se asia to free some american pow . in a running battle he kill about 500 enemy soldier with an m 60 machine gun that never run out of ammo and never overheats . and he never miss and run with a 32lb gun hold up with one arm . i could go on and but i be get a headache . i give this a negative only because it slightly well than rambo iii .
