The first major US Air Assault operation against NVA (as stated above). Great idea and tactics, poor intell...hard fought battle. The story has all the elements of a classic Western Movie a la John Wayne!
I agree the movie was fine... the book was awesome.
I had the priviledge of seeing the movie on opening day, in our town, as can be expected, the theater was packed with Nam vets.
My wife went with me to the movie and she commented that it was the first time she had seen a room full of men crying.
Very moving.
Good Hunting.
