You cant do the war with one. You need a few.

The Quiet American for the French Involvement

Green Berets, campy propoganda but good for the Advisory Stage

We Were Soldiers for America taking over the war

Full Metal Jacket for Tet

Platoon. Compare the Army of 1965 (We Were Soldiers) to the post Tet Army (even if Platoon was supposed to take place in 67)

When Heaven and Earth changed Places

Hamburger Hill for the last major search and destroy mission

The Killing Fields for the aftermath

There are others....
