This film is sort of a prequel to FULL METAL JACKET. In fact, the entire first part of the film is almost the same. Where this film differs, is in its humour and satire. It goes out of its way to expose the incompetence and corruption that always seems to accompany war. In this way, it is quite similar to MASH.
The film sells itself out a bit in the final act, in a rush to provide resolutions for the characters. All in all, it is a decent anti-war picture with a different slant than what we usually see in Vietnam films.
