this movie be well do . it cover the difficulty a return vietnam veteran have in deal with the horror of war . unfortunately the writer choose to focus on a vet who have be involve in an act of atrocity . i be in vietnam and only once hear of such an act by one who witness it . the offender be prosecute and sentence to many year in leavenworth . the notion that only vet involve in atrocity have emotional problem be a disservice to all who serve . all of the soldier i know personally or know of by word of mouth be honorable soldier who respect even the enemy and believe they be there to halt the spread of communism . the big problem be come home to learn that many american be oppose to the war . that be what cause many veteran to feel they have take part in something less than honorable . not the manner in which they serve . the end depict the father act more a a belligerent bully than a loving and care father . for that i give it a positive . have the end allow for a degree of acceptance i could have rat it a 9. most decent men will come home from war with guilt and emotional scar . they need acceptance and understanding to overcome that . i pray that the public be more understanding of our present day veteran than it be in the the vietnam era .
