Platoon was a good flick if you filtered out the BS, I was in the 2/35, it wasn't as it was depicted.

Agree -- I saw it many years ago and my main impression was the depiction of how the tension and fear build up -- especially in the scenes where they were trying to make sure the rubbled building was clear of enemies. It made me really admire the men who were on the front lines. (I was behind the scenes, stateside, during the '60-'70 era.)
