My dad was drafted into Vietnam as a senior in high school. Already from an abusive home the war broke whatever was left. My dad was involved with Agent Orange which gave life long illness until he died at 60. I was born in 84 and he never talked about it much. I know coming home they were spit on and called baby killers. He was scared of helicopters just the sound could set him off. I wish the war never happened maybe I would have gotten a better dad. Not sure if these comments are read but thank you for talking about this with respect.

Keith David literally saved Charlie Sheen's life during the making of this film. The stunt was during the helicopter sequence where it was flying over and Sheen lost his footing and was about to fall off and Keith with his quick instincts grabbed him quickly back into the helicopter. Sheen has credited, thanked Keith several times. Thats why we got to see the reunion between Sheen and David in Men at Work directed by Emilio Estevez which is another fun hilarious film.

How Tom Berenger did not win Best Supporting Actor for his role in this film is beyond me. Chef's kiss.

One year after this Willem Dafoe came to my country with his theatre company, he walked on stage to a standing ovation every night, he was so surprised it was wonderful to see. He is really sweet and down to earth. If you want to see another one of his brilliant roles do watch Alan Parker's 1988 "Mississipi Burning", Gene Hackman, Frances McDormand, R. Lee Ermey, Brad Douriff in a brilliant telling of s true story. I really enjoyed your final comments.

I was 15 when this movie came out. My Dad was in the vietnam war and he'd never talked about it. This is the only movie he ever took me to see in the theater. The character work is so good in this movie. Thanks for the reaction and memories.

I can never hear the song “Adagio for Strings” (the them for Platoon) without thinking about the ending of Platoon. It’s so haunting and tragic, perfect for a Vietnam war film.

I worked with a guy who was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. Little guy, 5'3". They had a terrible mortality rate of something like 30%. They would go in with just their sidearm and a lantern. Sometimes, they would emerge miles away. He never talked about the war much, but you could tell it still affected him. And this was in the 2000's.

A landmark cinematic achievement and a scathing indictment of war. 👌 'The first casuality of war is innocence'

Andrew about Dafoe's character: "Man I hope nothing happens to him..." One of the most iconic scenes in film history: Dafoe's character dying horribly.
