Best picture of its time and its kind.This is the last war movie I really sat down and watched...that was years ago. It affected me profoundly, especially after hearing from so many Vietnam vets that this is a quite accurate accounting of the way things really were then. It is very hard for me to comprehend war, but the choices we make while trying to survive and deal with the life we have chosen is what is conveyed here. There is a reason this won the Oscar for best picture...it truly is a great film.
