    The way I hear this piece of music as a Veteran of 3 wars.
    The first portion. Going to war. The uncertainty and chaos.
    The second portion of intermittent climaxes. The war itself. The rage, sorrow, fear, and confusion.
    The climax. Your war is over. The joy that you survived, but the emptiness, feelings of regret and overwhelming depression that war bestowed upon you.
    Truly a beautiful piece of music that I can identify with.

    This is one of very few pieces that can be sung by a choir, played by an orchestra and played on a pipe organ and still have that same effect on the listener.
    Using the serenity, peace and beauty of Adagio to underscore the sheer violence and trauma of 'Platoon' was something bordering on genius.
    RIP all who never came back from wars and kept us free by doing so. We WILL remember them.

    Though I'm big & look like a biker, Im happy that I feel sad & am man Enough to admit that fact...

    My husband came home from Vietnam.. we weren’t married yet. I was 10 years younger. He came home in one bodily piece. He survived. I always heard this piece on the radio and just thought amazingly emotional.. and gorgeous. We never saw Platoon. I apologize to all those who’s loved ones did not return. I am heartily sorry that this piece is painful.. a hurt not healing. God go with you… that’s the promise.

    That the finite mind of man can compose things of such beauty, melancholy though it be, is a profound miracle

    A beautiful piece of music. I remember going with my husband and one of his best buddies he enlisted. My husband is dead from Agent Orange. His buddy died from suicide years ago. Ironically they both died on same day. Both Vietnam Vets

    I dare not ask about the horrific things you saw or witnessed happened but thank ALL veterans of war or active service a humble and sincere Thank You! My opinion is we shouldn't have been there. It was a really bad war as I read in books but being there in real life, is something that sticks with you for the rest of your lives. I watched men go off to war over the years and they never come back the same.

    We have to respect the conductor and let him come out of his zone when the piece is over. He is the captain of the ship.

    I'm from New York City and the anniversary of September 11th just past the other day. 22 years, and I've been doing the usual like I do around this time watching a lot of RUclips videos of that day. I was 23 then. In my head this theme song plays as I watch 911 videos. it goes so well with the tragedy of that day. I typed up platoon themesong and this is the first video that came up. Its so beautiful. Definitely fits for the Vietnam War and the horrific day of September 11th 2001.

    Five seconds into the music I am crying. I love this piece so much and the Movie was so heart rending for me, who was born in 1955. The Vietnam War was a huge piece of my life.
