You're going to war in the
jungles of Viet Nam.
Where life is as terse as
a bullet.
And brief as a scream.
You're going to war in the
jungles of Viet Nam.
Where life is as terse as
a bullet.
And brief as a scream.
You're going to meet the lean and the mean. You're going to experience a comic, cruel, furious time with a gung ho bunch, some of whom kill without a twinge of guilt. You're going to meet Marine Private Joker's bearded children--men trying desperately to survive the loss of their humanity in battle: Animal Mother. Donlon. Lance Corporal Stutten. Harris. Thunder. Hand-Job. The Kid from Brooklyn. Hardy. Liccardi. Daddy D.A. You'll never forget them. Or this.
The brilliant, barbaric, riveting reenactment of the mad descent into savagery that is war.
