Disheartened by futile combat, appalled by the corruption of their South Vietnamese ally, and constantly endangered by the incompetence of their own company commander, the young men find a possible way out of the war. They are told that if they purposely lose a soccer game against a South Vietnamese team, they can spend the rest of their tour playing exhibition games behind the lines.

This is one of the greatest Vietnam War movies of all time.

This movie was the inspiration for Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket.

Haven't seen this film in forever. Gotta love R. Lee Ermey! This film predates Full Metal Jacket by almost a decade, but they make for a great double feature. I'm positive Kubrick saw this film and said "I need THAT guy!"
