It was not about the Vietnamese perspective as it was designed to speak to the enablers and modifiers of that war in the USA...from the President to te Joint Chiefs, to the Army at large and the citizen on the street.

BUT, the Vietnamese (their culture, their willingness to fight and ability to accept horrendous punishment to succeed) played large as a shadow charactor throughout the whole film.

and Harrison Ford's "talk" with Sheen to send him up the river. God, that was good.

The miracle of AN is that is was released just over three years after the fall. That's a fast, brave turnaround.
