Brothers in War

I watched the movie, saw the TRUENESS of the events, the action, the bravery, and the Heartache and pain of those soldiers.

To hear the story's, i got to know them as well (to some degree) and it pained me when they were killed.

I was in Vietnam in 67-68, and know first hand of the lay of the land, and the VC activity. I was not in the infantry, and can only THANK THOSE WHO WERE, for their Bravery everyday.............The film showed that side as well.

What the soldiers did when faced with over whelming odds..............GREAT LEADERS, Both in Officers and NCO, and those not NCO's.

A movie to watch. Many THANKS AS WELL TO CHARLIE SHEEN.

Thank You Charlie for supporting our MILITARY..............

From the very start you will realize that this is real. Every Vietnam veteran should sit down with his family and watch this documentary. You will feel the emotions as the stories are told by those that were there. This is a tribute to all combat veterans that did not get a welcome home. You will feel the love for fellow man and the courage under the worse conditions. Our Country seemed to turn their backs on us but with the Grace of God we never turned our backs on one another. This is not a Hollywood movie as actual footage tells a more dramatic story. The entire 9th Infantry Division will be remembered as being unique in that they were trained from the very start as a combat unit and they served this Country with honor. It is sad that it took 47 years for this story to be told. Hats off to the production company for a job well done. 10 stars plus.

I'm glad that I happened to stumble across this program this week, I was able to catch the last hour or so and thank God I was able to DVR the entire program and watch it from start to finish. What I liked best of the film was the interviews with the surviving members of the platoon, the way they told their stories made you feel like you were with them in the battle field. How these heroes made it out alive after spending 18 months in Vietnam is beyond me. The 2 hour film kept me on the edge of my seat and I really look forward to more episodes. I also want to say Thanks to the men who fought this war and wish Americans would not take their freedom for granted. So the next time you see a Vet, tell them how much you appreciate what they went through because they deserve it.

Quite a lot of my personal interview for the Book "Boys of 67" and subsequently "Brothers in War had to be edited and dropped because I cried through most of it,(the interview).I am a real man grandfather and husband, I cry about nothing, but the emotional wounds of that war Vietnam are still fresh inside me 47 years later, Lou Reda productions really captured the essence of what the author Andrew Weist wanted to convey and it really hits at the gut of what Charlie Company's war in Vietnam was all about, not pretty but the whole ugly truth. As John Young a Squad leader so well stated at the end of the special, what ever your views are on the war don't judge me if you weren't there. We are proud to have severed our country and we honor our fallen brothers and sister in war.

This documentary brought to life the experiences and tremendous hardships our Vietnam vets endured during the Vietnam War, and the despicable Jane Fonda groupies they came home to. Being married to a Vietnam vet who would never talk about the war to me, left me in the dark, so to speak. This movie spoke volumes and helped me understand what I needed to understand; why he came back like he did, and why I, too, and his children, were now also victims of this war. To have the vets from Charlie Company actually give their 1st hand accounts of what they lived, and how, was incredibly moving and educational for me. I don't think I've ever seen another movie that captured this as well as hearing it from the mouths of the vets who were actually there.
