"To date, no one has made a movie that has captured the true picture of the soldier who served in Viet Nam."

I don't disagree, but I think Mil Gibson's "Once We Were Soldiers" about the battle at Ia Drang gave it a good effort.

"Let's take the next step here and simply call Kerry a "Galvanized Viet Cong".

I have been told by some vets I know that Hamburger Hill was very well done and an accurate depiction, but I can't say for myself - I was born in 1968.
