when the arvn are telling their squad to go back to the village i thought it was good thinking and messed up to put their hands up because it was smart but they made the chopper take out their own team. they should have just gotten on together instead of fighting over it. why do you think the arvn did that?

I thought the gun fight on the hill was very interesting. when they were trying to make it up the hill shooting at the Cong and when they finally got to the top and there was three Cong's left and Captain Stewart shoot one of them in the head. Than as they were shooting down the hill Johnson and Perry got shoot as the other troops try to help there was to much fire they grabbed them and went back down the hill they came up on. Reasoning i thought i was interesting because two people got shoot.

what do  you think about this part?
