Quotes:
Capt. Ramsey:
The colonel declared the village guilty of aiding and abetting the VC, without a shred of evidence. He ordered forty VC bodies dropped on the village. I filed a report, but the colonel had ties to the Grandmaster of Destruction himself, LBJ. Those bodies became bombs, and bombs kill.

This story of US Marines going back to Vietnam is far fetched and the flashbacks may be a pastiche of events involving a number of different units. However, they catch the spirit of interaction of Marines, their noncoms and officers. Ramsey is a very believable captain, but in reality, he would have been at least a company commander and would not have been so directly involved in unit leadership. Otherwise, his and his marines' interactions were consistent with my experience.
So take the plot with a grain of salt, but watch closely the way the marines and their Navy Hospital Corpsman and Chaplain go about their business. It will give you a good understanding of how marines think and act in a combat environment.
