Charlie Sheen fans (or Johnny Depp fans) --realize Ho Chi Minh was a mass-murderer!

I do not want casual viewers who know next to nothing about the Vietnam conflict to watch this movie's bad stance on Vietnam to be favorable to it just because the flick contains one or two popular big and small screen icons. In the 1950's Ho Chi Minh (leader of communist North Vietnam) committed a brual slaughter of many, many thousands of North Vietnamese private landowners and landlords. This was before the US fought him outright in the 60's. See my postings.

Casual viewers might also be interested in knowing the United States lied to its own citizens and the rest of the world, by claiming events that never happened called "The Gulf Of Tonkin Incident" to justify starting a war with Vietnam. A war which they extended, even after realising the conflict was unwinnable, and lead to the horrible outcome of, among several other dreadful things, nearly 60 thousand dead American troops, millions of dead Vietnamese civilians, and the chemical Agent Orange poisoning Vietnamese soil and making Vietnamese children ill and deformed. All of which could've been avoided by not adhering to a boldfaced lie.
It's almost like the US itself was involved in some type of mass-murder!

This is definitely one of Oliver Stone's most emotionally heavy-handed films--check out how they pour on the weepy music in the messed-up scenes (like the burning of the village), it's like they're telling you, "This is fucked up!!!" I greatly dislike that kind of use of score.

What song should they have played instead, Celebration by Kool And The Gang??

No, no, no, not at all! All sarcasm aside, I felt very emotionally manipulated by the use of score in the village scene. Its gruesome visuals themselves were enough.
That's all.
