One of the guys who was there, shared this with me. I looked it up today because Donald Sutherland just passed away, but most importantly, I knew some of these Marines. I was once married to one of them. This film was and still is, a very important timepiece. It was a bit slow but I liked Donald Sutherland smile at parts. Imagine my surprise, when I heard a familiar voice! There was this Marine from Beaver Dam, KY. That I knew quite well. He was a character and he also hated this war. These guys were drafted into a war that they didn't believe in. One young man said, "it was jail or the military." I suppose that most people except that age group, those who served or in my case, knew some of the guys who got a speaking role.
