    This scene is based off the battle at Firebase Burt on New Year's Day 1968. You can find footage here on UA-cam of the day after, however the footage is very grainy. My uncle was part of the reinforcements that came the next morning at Burt. He was in the 25th Infantry Division 4th/9th Alpha Co. 1st platoon. He remembers that day very well to this day.

    When I was a kid I built a model of the F-5, it is such a beautiful little bird. I was surprised to see it used in Platoon instead of a Phantom, but thought it was really cool. The F-5 fought in limited numbers in the Vietnam War, but I believe by 1968 all of them had been transferred to the RVNAF, so there wouldn't be Americans flying them at this point in the conflict. That said, the Captain calling in the F-5s for close air support is one of the most iconic moments in war cinema, capturing perfectly the stark contrast between the dirty and desperate grunts on the ground fighting for their lives and the professional, cool pilot above doing his best for his comrades below before returning to base or his carrier far from the fight. I could watch this scene over and over, and I have. Thanks so much for this hi def upload!

Meaning he had been wounded twice, which says that technically he would've been eligible when he was grazed and treated during their first ambush, though that sort of thing wasn't commonly accepted as a true casualty in the eyes of everyday soldiers
      As for the final fight? Probably would be a Bronze star recipient, even bordering a Silver Star due to the fact he held his position and openly engaged against a vastly superior enemy. The problem would be, is that the story typically requires confirmation by others and by the end? Most anyone who could've confirmed it was dead. Maybe Francis though

He told the other guy to quiet down so he could hear what was being said...other than that he had no way of knowing. He acted quickly and managed to get a temporary advantage over the enemy due to his fast action and judgement in the chaos of battle.

    Fun fact, of the entire cast and crew of 'Platoon,' only three served during the war. First was Oliver Stone. Much of the film's plot is based around his service with the 25th infantry Division. The other is Captain Dale Dye, a war correspondent in the Marine Corps. He was wounded three times in combat and earned many medals for gallantry including the Bronze Star. The other is James Finnerty, the film's key grip. He has a cameo as the yelling sergeant @5:57, before he's shot.

    I saw Platoon in the theatre when it came out. I already knew a bit about the film because I had seen a discussion on a talk show, that showed the Barnes, little girl village hostage scene. I love the film and have the dvd. I've watched it so many times I lost count. I am 65 year old retired Canadian. I worked for forty years at a commercial poultry farm. About as far from the military or war as you can get. I was a serious hunter for 40 years both with gun and bow. So I know a bit about guns and the damage that they can do. I don't know why, but I have always had a fascination with war movies. I was 10 years old in 1968 and I can still remember the Kennedy assassination on our black and white tv. I can still remember my father watching Vietnam war footage while eating supper. I was drawn to magazines and books on the war with vivid color photos'. In the platoon scene where Alias goes down in the tunnel. I already knew all about them, because I had read the book 'The Tunnels Of Cu Chi' and found it fascinating. Its true accounts of what it was like to be a tunnel rat in vivid detail. I have of course also been interested in the earlier wars as well. The ones that the allies sacrificed their lives for. The heroes that we all owe our freedoms to. The favorites in my dvd collection are of course this one. Then.. 'Born On The Fourth Of July', 'Hamburger Hill', 'Saving Private Ryan' and Apocalypse Now'.' The Platoon Leader" is another not so known film that I love. With Michael Dudikoff had it taped off TV to a VHS some where. It is a very realistic portrayal of Vietnam jungle warfare written by and produced by war veterans. The movie is actually here on UA-cam. I also have the documentary tribute, 'Letters From Vietnam'. For many years, When I get to feeling depressed or sorry for myself in the way my life is going. I would sit down and watch this dvd. It would bring me back to the realization... that I have nothing to complain about. My sincere respect and admiration for the sacrifice made by all military servicemen both past and present.😊❤🙏

    Sent by Copilot:
    “Snake and nape” is a military slang term coined during the Vietnam War by American infantry. It refers to a specific loadout for aircraft bombing missions. Let me break it down for you:
    Snake: This slang term comes from “Snake Eye,” which refers to US retarded bombs with fold-out petal-style fins. These bombs were designed to be dropped from low altitudes. The “snake” part of the loadout represents these bombs.
    Nape: “Nape” stands for napalm. Napalm canisters, specifically the 500-lb. M-47 napalm canisters, were also part of this loadout. Napalm was dropped on the first pass over a target, followed by the bombs on the second pass12.
    The combination of snake (high-explosive bombs) and nape (napalm) allowed for effective low-level attacks, maximizing the impact of both types of ordnance. It was a devastating combination used during the Vietnam War.

Had the French had the fleet they could have held Indochina. So much of the British musical invasion caused the withdrawal from Vietnam.

    Did the captain get hit with schrapnel when he tried to fire to get hit.in the face or did his gun jam before he was shot?

      The captain was in the command bunker and never shot his gun. He's the one who called in the airstrike.

    I've been sooooo been wanting for someone to digitally correct the Elias scene when the squibs are supposed to go off in the iconic scene where he dies. Please...someone....add the bullets tearing through his body. My OCD can't take it anymore.
