Brothers in War (TV Movie 2014)

Brothers in War (TV Movie 2014). Brothers in War: Directed by Liz Reph. With Jack Benedick, John Bradfield, Steve Hopper, Larry Lilley. Through gripping first-person accounts and digitally remastered archival footage, including the soldiers' own home movies and personal audio tapes, Brothers in War recounts the harrowing combat experiences of the men of Charlie Company – one of the last American combat infantry companies to be drafted, trained and sent to fight together in Vietnam. The two-hour special is fittingly narrated by Charlie Sheen, who rose to stardom after his 1986 performance as a Vietnam soldier in "Platoon."

“Dear Remaining 4th Platoon Members, I liked the movie and rated it very high, but I really donu0026#39;t understand why everything was about the 1st, 2nd, u0026amp; 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 arenu0026#39;t worth mentioning? Although mentioned in the book, this important detail was omitted in the movie. Captain Lind mentioned his 1st, 2nd, u0026amp; 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”
