To me, that whole beach village attack was a 15 minute recap of the Vietnam war; it was like it was written in Hollywood by John Wayne and Elmer Fudd.
I personally water skied the Mekong River and had to stay on the near side bank because the other bank was VC territory (and deforested by Agent Orange) and dodged floating mines doing it - water skiing; swam in the Saigon Headquarters command recreational pool and stayed off the high dive platform because of the VC snipers. There was a rec center golf course where some of the holes were off limits because they were VC territory - who could make this up but Hollywood?
