We've been up on that hill ten times, and they still don't think we're serious.
Last night I watched Hamburger Hill a movie about the actual battle that took place in May of 1969 about the The 187th Infantry Regiment and The 101st Airborne Division who had to take a hill in Thua Thien Province. It took them ten days a because of the well fortified North Vietnam trench's. But after heavy rain,friendly fire and more then 70 dead and 300 wounded they finally get to the top of the hill. The film stars a young Don Cheadle in his forth film. We Gotta Get out of This Place by the Animals was a good choice for this movie. The music by Philip Glass is also really good. Platoon is next.
