...AFSC. The narrator is at times ridiculous ("All the Vietcong weapons were discovered to be foreign-made") and at times plain wrong ("The Geneva Convention divided Vietnam into two countries--North and South.") Sometimes the sound-track has no connection with the pictures: we hear the sounds of a furious battle, while watching a column of grinning soldiers march casually across a bridge. Worst of all, the film makes no attempt to give the audience the historical or immediate background of what he sees.

From late January through mid-March, they had swept the scrub-grown slopes and rocky ridges of the An Lao Valley in a furious, 41-day string of fights that killed 1,342 Communist soldiers and netted 250 enemy weapons.

Kids adore the lethal, shiny toy collection. Dads happily ogle a prepotent heman, king of a computerized wonderland in which every foe can be swiftly vanquished, every voluptuous siren bedded. And women seem quite susceptible to the fantasy of being vicariously mauled by a master of the art, perhaps after flooring him with a karate wrist chop. Slapdash, comic-strip plots, more violent than suspenseful, are made into...
