What do you void listening?

I relate to the Gump character in many ways.

I was not athletic and bullied somewhat for it as a youth.

I lived in Alabama for a few years.

I have been known to run a lot for no good reason.

Jenny reminds me of an old girlfriend in many ways.

I am a good ping pong player (not as good as Gump.

The historical events depicted in the movie had a big impact on my life as they did many.

My parents died while I was a young adult.

I have kids that are like me in many ways.

I tend to think like the character did and understand his actions.

Not a vet, never shrimped or played college football or owned APple stock though (Microsoft, yes).

Full Metal Jacket is my favorite Vietnam War movie.

Platoon is the most accurate one, by 1968 the US Army was in reality just an armed mob.
By 1970 so was the USMC.

***** by 1968 the US Army was in reality just an armed mob.

In order to make this statement, You must have had quite a perspective. What was your rank / job in Nam?

That's irrelevant , the important thing is that I was there and I've always had
the habit of paying attention.
For that matter there are hundreds , if not thousands, of credible books that will tell you same thing.

One think is fact certain , a high-ranking officer will have
the least idea of what happened, the tremendous amount of kool-aid consumed will have caused severe memory loss.
