Whether "Apocalypse Now" or "Full Metal Case", the Vietnam War described in the movie is not so much an exaggeration as it is nonsense. An unreal movie, chaotic scenes, pretending to be connotative, to deceive the audience , It is right to not get a good box office.
I believe in the Vietnam War depicted in Tom Clancy's "Shadow Warrior". This is not a novel, but a true narrative. It is true that some people shot and killed officers, took drugs and prostitutes, but they added the image of the U.S. military's poor discipline and lost in the Vietnam War. All the U.S. military’s heads are the result of constant media hype. Compared with the current state of American society at the time, the military’s discipline is quite excellent. Tony Koltz, who collaborated with Tom Clancy to write "Shadow Warrior", was in a brigade never before. Such things have happened. Soldiers have been very brave and decisive in combat. They used innovative tactics to destroy the North Vietnamese army. Even the supplementary soldiers are well-trained. They are not like the drunk who was temporarily brought to the battlefield in the film. They don’t know how. fight.
It can only be said that the director is someone who doesn’t understand the military at all. There is no time for you to go crazy and stupid on the battlefield. It’s too late to prepare a proper plan. I have never seen such a special force acting alone. A real soldier should be like "From the bottom of the sea" The first mate in Attack (Many people say it is true, but I don’t know where it is), not the unshaven, lice-covered sailors.
