Asian Democracy. Last week, 65 years after the slaughter on Samar, Filipinos and Americans were the staunchest of Asian allies. Descendants of the bolomen?1,200 soldiers from the Philippine Civic Action Group?were setting up camp beside U.S. troops in the South Vietnamese jungles of Tay Ninh.

The cool mechanics of death are recorded in some of the most grisly hunt scenes ever filmed, and during a long, hot afternoon the lust for killing slowly grinds toward a fitting climax. Boozing and broiling in the sun, the men try to buy, sell and slander one another. The hair triggers of anxiety touch off frustrations over...
