    excellent movie about the Vietnam conflict
    This movie was filmed entirely in Vietnam and to the best of my knowledge it was the only one that was filmed entirely in Vietnam.The soldiers were real Vietnamese soldiers and the US military were actually assigned to the US Army in Vietnam.This movie should have been out on Video so that the present generation can know something about what it was all about.Kieu Chinh is still acting in California and others in the movie are still around. Please try to get this on Video and available to the public
