Brothers in War (2014)
Very realistic, but missed important detail
29 March 2014 - 5 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
Dear Remaining 4th Platoon Members, I liked the movie and rated it very high, but I really don't understand why everything was about the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd platoons. I understand they took the heaviest fire but the 4th was the first platoon hit. Maybe 7 guys in a plastic boat from the 4th platoon aren't worth mentioning? Although mentioned in the book, this important detail was omitted in the movie. Captain Lind mentioned his 1st, 2nd, & 3rd platoons, but the 4th platoon was also there. Kenny Frakes (4th platoon) was the only one mentioned, but we lost many other brothers from our platoon. I was FDC replacement from 4th division (June 1967) my friend Kenny Frakes and I worked together plotting until he got killed. Paris Fadden
