I'm fortunate in that I'm a Vietnam Era vet who had the good and great fortune to be stationed at San Antonio - Fort Sam - and never saw any combat.
I agree with Stumpy about his "anti" sentiments. I realize that the Russian Roulette sequence is an allegory, but still don't care for the film's depiction of American soldiers. Ironically, the depiction of small town life here and the wedding sequence are well executed. I'll watch the beginning of this one and then turn it off.
We deal in lead, friend.
