  they were blasted..
  
  the vietnam fellas were killed by the score..
  
  however, it was their refusal to back down, no matter how many casualties they took.. that was their strength..
  
  back in the US, the people realised that they were in a very unjust war.. and took pains to demand that the gabrament pull out...
  
  that was then..
  
  biased?
  
  it told of a war where ideologies were at odds.. and ultimately, the ordinary man suffered..

  The film can be criticized for omitting a large portion of Moore's book. The film depicts only the first half of the Battle of Ia Drang, which took place at Landing Zone X-Ray, and shows Moore's successful defeat of a North Vietnamese attack. It does not depict the second half of the battle: after Moore's troops had left the Landing Zone, the men from Company C, who had arrived to support Moore's troops, were left to march to Landing Zone Albany. Colonel McDade, the leader of these troops, made a tactical mistake on the trail, calling forward all of his commanders to interrogate two unarmed North Vietnamese soldiers. A sudden ambush cut off platoons from their officers, and the American Troops suffered many casualties. By omitting this part of the battle, the movie suggests that it was an unambiguous victory, when in fact Moore himself considers it to have been a draw.

  the way the movie portrayed LTC Moore.. doesnt it seem like he's too perfect a commander? So passionate about his family, loves his men so much, so level-headed when caught in the midst of an ambush.. so perfect it's hard to believe

  With that kind of NVA forces, I'm surprise only a UH1 down. Like shooting into a meat wall of Viets. The NVA seems like bobo shooters.
