I like the way the animation is very historically accurate. Even though it is the M-16 rifle that most people associate with the Vietnam War the animated U.S. Marines in this video are carrying M-14 rifles. Now that's attention to detail. This video is set early on in the Vietnam War and therefore prior to M-16 rifles. 👍
