Storyline
| Plot Summary |
USMC Captain Ramsey is part of a group of US veterans invited, with war victim's son Brad Jordan, by the Vietnam government to revisit their battlegrounds now that international relations are friendly in the post-Cold War age. Initially he refuses to face his unit's darkest, most traumatic memory, but he accepts after an affair with a guide. The violent past is slowly reconstructed through site-stimulated flashbacks and finds a way to catch up and spark another drama. Written by KGF Vissers |

| Quotes |
Capt. Ramsey:
The colonel declared the village guilty of aiding and abetting the VC, without a shred of evidence. He ordered forty VC bodies dropped on the village. I filed a report, but the colonel had ties to the Grandmaster of Destruction himself, LBJ. Those bodies became bombs, and bombs kill. See more » |
