I too was 19 years old when I arrived in Vietnam. I ended up flying as helicopter door gunner for the 119th Assault Helicopter Company. We flew combat assaults in the enemy held areas inserting elements of the 4th Infantry. This was back in 1970. I lost some good buddies during my tour of duty. This music helps me to remember and appreciate their memory. We were young once and those of us who came back will always remember those who did not make it back alive.

I never thought I would experience war in Europe, let alone about 700 km from our country. And it is here. What do you say. I feel it strongly, and I experience it very intensely.

Yes, we did not fight a WAR in Viet Nam. We were suckered into FIANCING the American military-industrial complex (which Eisenhower warned against) and THE BLOATING OF LBJ's pocket book. Another statesman, in his later life, Robert McNamara wrote a book; "In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam", and also cried tears over the insidious..(for no real value)....anguish and pain he...(and the good ol' boys)... put 18-20 year old soldiers through. I personally doubt the Domino Theory's validity. I know the "Gulf of Tonkin Resolution" was fakery bullshit! I know that the rules of engagement...(there).....forced soldiers to fight with peashooters and one arm tied behind their backs. Years later, we saw the same crap when Rumsfeld exclaimed, "you go to war with what you have". I also know that IF LBJ et.al.was/were so chicken shit of China and the USSR .........(therefore not bombing Hanoi)...., they had no business being there!. I could go on and on, but it boils down to only two things; power and money-greed at any price; not philosophical B.S. about not fighting the enemy.

When this movie came out in the theaters in the 80s my dad took me to go see Platoon a few times. I didn't know until I grew older that this movie was about the outfit he served with 25th Infantry Division Bravo Co. 3/22. Apparently the movie takes place the same time he was over there 1966 -67 . The war never leaves them, just a few years ago at a 25th Infantry Div. Vietnam Vet reunion, I saw my Dad crying for the first time in my life. Must have brought up some buried emotions.

My dad too was in the 25th, Bravo Co., 69-70. We watched this movie together whenever he could muster the nerves. I never saw him cry but I could see him hurt every time we saw it. He instilled in me the same emotions whenever I see this or any other ‘Nam movie. Just looking at The Wall makes me break down for all those who served and especially those who didn’t come home. God bless and keep all you ‘Nam vets and your families.

Their mannerisms reflected those soldiers in this film. This past Veteran’s Day I will never forget. And I can credit my father for teaching me about Vietnam. I grew up on it.

I was 19 years old in April 22, 1969 and flew from El Toro Naval Air Station, California on a commercial jet to Okinawa on my way to Vietnam. The USMC taught me very well how to handle stress and survival in the bush. I served With G/3/11 1st Marine Division, I Corps. I was a gunner on a 105mm Howitzer in G Battery Hill 10. We shot 24/7 and saved many Marine Grunts lives with accurate cannon fire times six guns in unison. I performed all the duties on the gun and we took turns, loading, setting fuzes, firing, and breaking out hundreds of rounds of ammo on a daily basis. My pride was knowing that every time I pulled that lanyard someone was gonna be blown away in a few short seconds and save Marines from an ambush gone bad somewhere in the bush. This music really puts chills down my spine whenever i hear it. God Bless the USMC and our United States of America. Also, God Bless the other branches of our military who served in country during my tour in the Nam. 1969-1970 DANNYGUNSIX...

Esta película la vi con mi hermano mayor. Fue un momento inolvidable cuando fuimos a ver esta película. Él ahora ya no está conmigo porque hace cuatro años partió al Cielo. Hoy, al volver a escuchar esta melodía, vinieron a mi mente los momentos que compartía con él y no he parado de llorar. Esta melodía llega a lo más profundo del alma y el corazón. Estimado hermano, tu recuerdo siempre estará en mi memoria.

I'm not sure if anyone will read this or care, but this piece, Barber's Adagio for Strings, is known as "Agnus Dei" (Lamb of God). When sung with a choir the only words are, "Agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi, Dona nobis pacem." (Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.) Very appropriate for a war movie, in my opinion.

C'est Samuel Barber qui a composé cet "Adagio for strings" en 1936. Poignant, bouleversant, pour les gens de ma génération, il fait irrémédiablement penser à l'épouvantable guerre du Vietnam dans laquelle périrent tant et tant de jeunes américains de notre âge (19 ans an 1968) et dont revinrent tant d'entre eux psychologiquement marqués au fer rouge de la bêtise et de l'orgueil humains. Qu'ils reposent en paix, que béni soit leur courage, que la paix du coeur soit avec eux et leurs proches. Fraternellement de Belgique où le souvenir de l'Armée Américaine est sauvegardé avec pieté notamment à Bastogne (Bataille des Ardennes) décembre 1944.

I first watched this movie not long after it was released which was about 30 years ago. I loved it, saw it twice, it really had an affect on me and I would have to say the sound track greatly contributed to how I felt during and after the movie. Especially Adagio, it is so haunting. I have watched it again today with my husband and although I still rate it as a brilliant movie it made me feel sick, sad and horrified. It is a real story written and directed by a Vietnam Vet, won Academy for Best Picture and Best Director - Oliver Stone.

It was performed for the first time on November 5, 1938, in a radio broadcast from a New York studio and conducted by Arturo Toscanini. It has been used in approximately two dozen film soundtracks, including The Elephant Man which predates Platoon.
