I remember vividly when the battle of Ia Drang Valley went down. While
the film is a more or less faithful telling, it does not show the level
of desperation on both sides nor the dedication nor fanaticism of the
NVA in their first strong showing: both sides won; both sides lost; it
was a battle of strong portent, in that it pretty clearly showed what
was going to happen in 'Nam. It was really major; bigger than Tet. A lot
of good men died those days. Regards,
J.R.
