Additional InformationIncludes the war films PLATOON, TIGERLAND, and HAMBURGER HILL. In PLATOON, Chris is sent to fight in Vietnam. He begins to see that his platoon is divided into two groups. One consists of lifers, juicers, and subintelligent whites, the other of blacks and heads. Sgt. Barnes, a combat-loving burnout, is the informal leader of the lifers, and Sgt. Elias, a free spirit, leads the latter group. When the platoon takes some gruesome losses while on an operation, an enraged Barnes kills some Vietnamese who may or may not have been VC and orders the burning of their village, outraging the temporarily absent Elias. As the conflict between these two reaches its tragic denouncement, Chris must decide what he really values. TIGERLAND is set in 1971, when America was a nation divided over the escalating violence and bloodshed of the Vietnam War. In Fort Polk, Louisiana, a group of young soldiers-in-training has conflicting opinions about the war. Jim Paxton is an idealistic romantic who sees Vietnam as potential inspiration for future novels and romantic war stories. Roland Bozz is a rebellious antihero who decides that he wants no part of the army or the war and begins to disobey orders, trying to get expelled from the infantry. Paxton and Bozz become leaders to a small group of young draftees, and Bozz inspires them to question authority. As they enter Tigerland--a training process in which the soldiers simulate combat in the Louisiana wilderness--the men begin to realise just how far they will go to stay out of the war. In HAMBURGER HILL, troops of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division engaged the enemy at the base of Hill 937 in the Ashau Valley. Ten days and eleven bloody assaults later, the troops who fought there called it Hamburger Hill.
