The only saving grace of this movie are the battle scenes. Oh, and it's always nice to see unknown (at the time) actors in their early work - Steven Weber, Courtney Vance, Cheadle, and McDermott.
Even with all of them the acting is horrendous! Despite any kind of background story (if you can call it that) I never cared once for any of them. To me the worst scene was "Alphabet's" last line. I cringe now even thinking about it.
I really can't stand this movie. I know that doesn't say much, but I just feel that there are so many better movies out there that deal with Vietnam than this one.
