Synopsis
Shot in 1969, this film documents the building anger of draftees in the U.S.military, and the growth of the anti-war movement within the military. Soldiers are interviewed and seen as they face brutalizing treatment and indoctrination in bootcamp, military training that made the war atrocities of the Vietnamese War all too possible as "just following orders". The film blasts the U.S. presence and forsees its future in Vietnam, while comparing the South and North Vietnamese armies and their reasons for fighting.
