Just read a little on the Chieu Hoi program. He wasn't clying when he said Hahn was going to eat their rations, go back out into the valley, and start hunting them. It's estimated that only about 25% of defections under the program were genuine. The rest likely did exactly what he described: Hung out, are their rations, then went back out and started hunting GIs.
“What do you think Han is going to do?? Wake up Alphabet and talk about women? Han gets his rocks off watching you die!!😡” (Acted with great intensity). 👌🏽 One of the most intense, powerful and realistic Army lectures ever written, directed and acted. Absolutely brilliant!!
This clip illustrates the importance of a healthy respect for the enemy. While it's important to vilify for the purpose of removing hesitation, make no mistake, those that survive should be recognized for the wisdom of existing despite the hell we make against it, and the peace from it.

As The Training NCO in Graf, I showed this movie one SGTs time. I wanted to show them what a Combat Medic was. Courtney Vance IS what a Combat Medic is.
After all these years and going through basic and tech school. I’m actually shocked that Docs only a specialist. This whole time I thought he was a sergeant at least. Then I noticed his rank.
Probably because of the racial reference he made at the begin. Black soldiers were notoriously denied promotions and often surpassed by other white soldiers who were lower in rank than them at that time.
@@USMCLP now day's some say a black man might get a job when the White Man say scored higher or wd be better at the job but due to the way the country is the black men will get . Yet back then the black man should had the promotion yet White Man Les qualified might have got .
For anyone saying doc being a SPC is racial thing , your heads in the wrong place 68w at the platoon level are usually SPC, a company medic who travels with the HQ element is usually a Sergeant, and the higher ranks usually get moved to the battalion aid station, now the black combat medic being in the field who’s a SPC and the white combat medic who’s at the aid station, that might be racial, but their rank isn’t particularly not in this context, this movie focuses mostly on one squad, the platoon sergeant and medic are usually attached at the hip, so seeing how the platoon sergeant SFC Worcester is seen with this squad most of the movie SSG Frantz is either one of the senior squad leaders and Worcester it grooming him for a PSG role or he’s his favorite Squad leader. You can see all 4 squad leaders being briefed by the Lt and psg later in the movie.
Sgt. Frantz got 'the tone' right on. We had cadre in OSUT that would speak seriously about enemy weapons and vehicles by saying "Learn these. They might very well be trying to kill you someday." We'd learned enough to keep our mouths shut and our ears open.

All true...but lotsa vets have recalled that the 'chieu hois' who served with them were almost always very skilled & cunning. In some cases when they 'flip', the ralliers/defectors were almost as fanatical as when they were fighting for the NVA.
Pretty sure Mr. Han(Hanh?sp?) is a former NVA 'sapper'-hence his abilities to slither through barbed wire so skillfully. Funny thing: the 1981 novel "13th Valley" by John Del Veccio (it's about an imaginary operation in the A Shau Valley by the 101st) featured a scene early on at "FNG School" that had a Chieu Hoi Sapper performing this very trick from the 'edification' of the new guys;

If you know anything about military rank..he is a sargeant and an NCO. The ones making fun have no military tradition in their family or never have served.
@PureBlindMan The Chieu Hoi Program was an initiative by the South Vietnamese to encourage defection by the Viet Cong and their supporters to the side of the Government during the Vietnam War. In other words, surrender/defection. However, there was this sneaking suspicion that the enemies of the U.S and the former South Vietnamese Government were taking advantage of the program to gain intelligence/monetary gains to further the war.
The bloodiest battle in The Vietnam War would have to in the Ia Drang Valley in 1965 which was in the movie We Were Soldiers or The Battle of Dak To which was what the song The 8th of November was about. Hamburger Hill was the 3rd bloodiest battle.

@er1085 That assumption isn't based off of anything. I like a lot of varied movies, most of them not anything like that. Casablanca, The Lives of Others, The Battle of Algiers, Intolerance (made in 1917 btw). Randomly judging people because they disagree with you doesn't make much sense.
@er1085 It's not "rough" for my taste by any means, I just don't think the film was done very well. I didn't find the dialogue or the acting that great.

They could NOT have picked a better actor to play Doc. :)
He was excellent.
Shame he had to go out like that
For a first time actor, Dylan McDermott was pretty fucking awesome in this movie. Then again, so was everyone. Really a standout film.
Beautifully said.
Too bad most of the actors suck.
Not the correct actor son

he was VC but was captured and turned. they were called kit carson scouts.
Perhaps, but discipline is essential in a combat zone. At least that is what my WW2 veteran father told me when he served in the Phillipines.
