It's not historical or accurate, but from what I remember a couple decades ago, the blind soldier, Rutger Hauer, was a soldier who survived the war, blinded from a blast and became a swordsman. He was trained in nam and returned to America to adjust and be mocked for his disability rather than his roll in the war. Very funny and entertaining, but not really a war movie at all. It borrowed the character of the Japanese Zatoichi series. Also excellent and available for free.
