>>If he had to illustrate how mad and crazy it was in the jungle of Nam by talking about atrocities, so be it. The people needed to hear the truth<< However it was not the truth--that's why many of his fellow veterans do not support Kerry's candidacy. **************************** >>Oliver Stone's "Platoon" scene was based on factual events and was realistic. The reason the film won the Oscar was that is was very realistic.<< "Very realistic" is not good enough when you're dealing with a historical event. That's the problem with Oliver Stone. He more than once admitted that he enjoys taking "creative license" with historical facts in order to juice up a movie. When that happens, the film becomes political propaganda which is exactly what "Platoon" and "JFK"(exact title?) were at the time.
