The movie A Rumor of War is most like my experience in the Nam. People were getting killed but we were almost never in full out gun battles. The gooks didn't do that because they always got their asses kicked. Apocalypse Now and We were Soldiers, Platoon, and Full Metal Jacket are good Hollywood fantasy but nothing like what I experienced. I served from March '70 to March of '71. Maybe things were like that earlier in the war but not when I served.
