It's just funny because it's not really all that accurate at all, it's not so much a historical movie or a war movie as much as it's trying to make a point about the psychological attitude of the time. Usually when I tell people this that my father-in-law said this, they laugh or don't believe me. (Also I find it appropriate that someone in this thread mentioned how stupid The Green Berets is, because he saw that movie when it came out, after returning from Vietnam, and he hated it so much he walked out. It was one of the only movies he paid to see where he left the theatre.)
I really think a lot of people who hate the movie either don't really care about Vietnam or the time period and don't get how rare this approach to the war was at the time (even now!) since most movies about the war were LIKE The Green Berets where it's your typical war movie about how noble the American cause in Vietnam is, etc. The only other movie I know of, right off hand, that tried this approach was Platoon and I still haven't seen it .
