Wow, are you really proud of hating certain types of people? Not all of them are bad, they are human beings and you shouldn't use the past against them. Its like me saying the Americans acted like nazis for stealing and commiting gencide to the native americans...

If you look at the history, you will see that it was the US that started the Vietcong. When we instated Diem, he pissed off the entirety of Vietnam and it's people. The result was a gorilla force that wanted to take Diem down (ie the VC). When Ho Chi Mihn was to be elected, we said "no, let's wait another 4 years and see how the Vietnamese public like Diem" 4 years later we did not keep our promise. We kept Diem in office where he was assassinated. When the Vietnamese wanted communism, we started sending Advisers. Next thing you know, full blown war. And due to the inefficiency of our politicians and military leaders, we not only lost the war, but Laos and Cambodia AND Vietnam all turned to communism in the end. 60,000 American lives were not worth the politicians dick waving contest. There was no legitimate reason why they died.In the case of the movie, I found it to be complete crap. The acting was terrible, the camera angles were boring, the VC spoke English, the weapons were off, the story was cheesy, and everything was extremely predictable.
