We Were Soldiers This is a movie based on real events that took place in November of 1965 at the gruesome beginning of the Vietnam war. The French army had already been dominated in gorilla battle, this shows the first American platoon entering the unstable zone. The movie does a good job of portraying Americas part in the war with Vietnam while also reminding us of the soldiers wives and families at home. The movie follows a respected Colonel and his platoon of soldiers as they touch down on enemy soil in helicopters and attempt to establish a base of operations. The Colonel played by Mel Gibson was experienced in battle, he fought in Korea, and was hand chosen to lead the first assault.
