IRT Blunt, I was in "That War" and disagree with your post.  My section through me from the Bn CO confirmed 5 KIA's and my section, similar to winning a championship, gave a big hurrah, joined by our recon platoon who were our security.  Why?  I believe to a man, each NVA we took out, was one less that could kill a Friendly.  Our objective that each man was going home to the World and not get hurt.  We had no shame.  Oops, this is the first time since 1969 that I have made this experience known.  This year, I was selected as one of 20 Hawaii Vietnam veterans that was interviewed by the Dept. of Defense and did not mention this experience.  We were in a War, as in all Wars, your mental objective is crystal clear, you take out the enemy before he takes you out.  I would be interested in viewing this film.
