Hmmm, I must have been watching something else, because I can't remember any exaltation of Americans or their involvement in SE Asia in this film. I do remember something of a "quagmire" though :-). But hey, to each his own.BTW; I remember seeing it in a theatre (Redux version) and thinking there isn't a single frame of this film that cannot stand on it's own as a still photo. Vittorio Storaro at his best, IMHO.
