RE: Just saw Platoon for the first time. How accurate of a portrayal of soldiers
Never saw the movie but I packed a rifle there. Weed was very common, it grew wild there in many places. Alcohol was available. I never saw drugs. Sex was everywhere and that is where I first heard of the black syf. I assume that was AIDS. The only thing I ever saw that I had a hard time understand was the killing of an nco. There were two small groups of us advancing on an Nva/Vic position. One group would lay down a base of fire and the other group would advance. After it was all over with the only casualty was our NCO and he was shot in the back of his head. It had to one of our own guys. Oddly enough I had a Vietnam dream last night, the first one in years.
