Embarrassing patriotism!

Braveheart in Vietnam? Pure propaganda patriotism, the Lord of the house at the front an absolutely bullet-resistant hero, wife at home as a heroic bearer of death notices in the neighborhood.
The whole seasoned with prayers, scenes from a heilem family life and pithy sayings, numerous krepierende soldiers breathe one last "Tell my wife that I love her ..." from. An absolute disappointment, one of stupid and simpleton Hipp Hipp Hurra-war film, a far cry from a critical examination of the Vietnam War! Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnie would fit in well here!
Had recently the miniseries "The Pacific" seen - as different as day and night, regardless of the action takes place more than 20 years before. Perhaps speaks more to the American public?
