it was ok

Plotless brain-fucked muddle through a senseless brain-fucked war. In some parts it feels like every over-done pastiche of every other bad Vietnam War movie, book, and TV show in the one place. It has its moments, don't get me wrong, but they're really not worth the sweaty wade through waist-deep literary muck to get to. The accolades lie, this is far from the best of anything "spawned" from Vietnam. The Things They Carried, Tree of Smoke, In Pharaoh's Army (I could go on) all did it so much better. Not worth the effort.
