For the young of today. "For educational purposes, stage 1"....
 

The 1st below film, is a documentary, filmed by a French journalist, whom had also been in Viet Nam during the 1st Indochina War. It was recommended to me to view, by my closest friend, whom served in A-co of 1/35th Inf Rgt, 4th ID summer of 1968 to summer of 1969. He has it on VHS, and first time I visited him (and his family) he let me see it once we where alone together at home.

THE ANDERSON PLATOON


The below, I have now (finally) on a DVD-box. The episodes are ca 58 minutes long, per episode. I have now also (finally) managed to locate it on youtube, making me able to share it, and to recommend anyone to view it. It is a documentary. If you recongize it, it is no wonder, if you watch "Discovery Channel". It has been aired on that channel, many times, over several years. (There is also a WWII-version aswell, which I also have on DVD-box, and am to try to also locate on youtube. Also that one, has been aired on the Discovery Channel, many times, over several years).
