"Field Platoon" is the first step of the field trilogy, documenting the three fatal problems faced by marines in the Vietnam War. From light to serious, they are: the
first is the Viet Cong guerrilla, which is The most positive enemy. They are the direct opponents of this war, and Que is not the most sinister enemy.
The second is the harsh natural environment of the rainforest in Vietnam. This is a challenge that has never been faced by free young Americans. It is even more difficult to deal with by the Viet Cong, because the Viet Cong relies on the protection of this environment to let the American soldiers. There is nothing to do.
The third is his comrade-in-arms. This is even the most dangerous problem. In the abnormal environment of war, killing the enemy is a bounden duty, and killing teammates will also become a mistake again and again. Terrible war.
