"Platoon"


"Platoon" was a war movie taking place in Vietnam. Charlie Sheen plays a new recruit that was deployed to Vietnam to fight in the war. He was unlike most of the soldiers over seas, and many of them didn't understand why he was even in the war. Well, supposedly, Charlie Sheens character signed up for the war rather than being drafted. Throughout the whole movie you wonder how this man could be so young and want to risk his life in a pointless war. Vietnam had one of the most inhumane American death counts in any other war. The movie portrayed the life of a regular American platoon fighting the war to save the Vietnamese from ultimate communism. Throughout the whole movie you see death, blood, gore, and the horrific lives that these soldiers go through. This movie is absolutely crazy, i recommend it to everyone!
