It was a long war fought by many troops over a large area.No movie of which I am aware represents anything but snapshots of individual events, mostly poorly portrayed. We Were Soldiers is the closest in representing a large unit engaged w/ the NVA.
From many conversations w/ fellow vets I learned that everyone had a different war and a huge variety of experiences depending on time place and unit.
The professionalism, valor and effectiveness of small units such as MACV/SOG and various LRRP and Recon units has been ignored by hollywood. The level of savagery common to the NVA and VC against their own people and our troops has been largely ignored also.
