re: Question for combat veterans that actually watch war movies

My dad was in Vietnam with 1st Cav and saw lots of action. He hated Vietnam movies but loved Saving Private Ryan. He thought it was more realistic. But he couldn't watch it without getting drunk.
I can tell stories for days about my dad's experience being a grunt (draftee) on the front lines and what happened after he got back. Anyone interested?

I've read so many books on the Vietnam War and watched so many documentaries and I still find it fascinating. Platoon, Born on the 4th of July and Forest Gump seem to be about as close as you can get to what it was really like from reading biographies.
I love watching live interviews on YouTube.
