  • During the Vietnam war, a girl is taken from her village by five American soldiers. Four of the soldiers rape her, but the fifth refuses. The young girl is killed. The fifth soldier is determined that justice will be done. The film is more about the realities of war, rather than this single event.

      War can take away a kids humanity, empathy and reasoning. They are told who the enemy is and spend years fighting against them. After that trauma anyone who looks like the enemy are also seen as such. Doesn't make any of it right but how do you expect 18 and 19 year olds to cope with everything they see and have to do. How can you expect a kid to kill over and over yet keep their soul intact?

In the well known case of the My Lai massacre, the rape and slaughter of hundreds of women and children resulted in one guy serving three and a half years.

    This is the one movie that I could not watch twice. The way that innocent girl was brutalized and killed is something I don't want to really think about. Knowing that it really happened is what makes it so disturbing. How war can turn ordinary people into evil monsters. But the propensity to do such things must already be there in them and war just allows them to act on them without being held to account except in this case because of one decent and moral soldier that reported what they did. Who knows what other atrocities took place that was never reported and just chucked up to war. Also that actress that played the part did it so convincingly as though it was real. I felt so sorry for her.

    Dr. Valerie Wieskamp, who has written about these kind of acts in U.S. wars, cites the film as an example of the whitewashing of U.S. military war crimes in popular culture.
    She highlights how the few changes made to the real story serve to support a narrative of the military as a flawed, but ultimately just and heroic institution. Among the details she highlights is its failure to mention that the sentences imposed at trial were later severely cut down, with the last of the perpetrators being freed after only four years. While Eriksson/Storeby is the hero whose bravery is suggested to represent U.S. national and military identity, even the villains on his squad are granted an imaginary backstory of a recently fallen squadmate to 'explain' their acts."

      literally true thought. You basically can see how many Viet who looks mix and most of them were abandoned by their mom as baby. Your USA government will just try so hard to sweep it under the rag. We all saw the pictures of USA troops did heinous crimes toward Viet community, AKA their civilians who not even one of the communist soldiers. Starting from the orange experiments, until the sexual assault crimes.
      I'm comment as Malaysian, a country who accept Viet refugees during your USA soldiers committing crime wars and genocide on Vietnam. Most of them flee are women and childrens, many of them even act hysteria because they're victims of your USA heinous crimes. You can came to Malaysia to check one of island, that Malaysia let Viet refugees stay at there. There's alot of story and medical report cases keep by Malaysia government and Malaysian community who's act as NGOs in there

    It also has a movie based on it called "Redacted" but they increased the age of girl to 15-16 still it was boycotted hard by US public.

    There's historians who went through the de-classified records, and they found during the Vietnam war, US troops were involved in massacres & gang rape on a weekly basis. They operated with impunity since the troops were force conscripted, didn't want to be there, they felt their gov betrayed them and were angry at the Vietnamese for causing the reason they are forced to be there, so they took it out on the villagers. Commanders knew the resentment was rife, they knew soldiers would be disobedient if they were prevented to have their "fun", so they all turned a blind eye. Can you even imagine it, 11 years, massacres & rapes event every single week. And only one person was ever prosecuted (My Lai massacre which press covered), he got 3 & 1/2 years jail time then parole. For the murder of hundreds of innocent women & children!
