I watched the movie, saw the TRUENESS of the events, the action, the bravery, and the Heartache and pain of those soldiers.
To hear the story's, i got to know them as well (to some degree) and it pained me when they were killed.
I was in Vietnam in 67-68, and know first hand of the lay of the land, and the VC activity. I was not in the infantry, and can only THANK THOSE WHO WERE, for their Bravery everyday.............The film showed that side as well.
What the soldiers did when faced with over whelming odds..............GREAT LEADERS, Both in Officers and NCO, and those not NCO's.
A movie to watch. Many THANKS AS WELL TO CHARLIE SHEEN.
Thank You Charlie for supporting our MILITARY..............

Plot summary
Through gripping first-person accounts and pristinely preserved archival footage, including the soldiers' own home movies and personal audio tapes, BROTHERS IN WAR recounts the harrowing combat experiences of the men of Charlie Company - one of the last American combat infantry companies to be drafted, trained and sent to fight together in Vietnam. In 1967 the boys of Charlie Company went to war in the Mekong Delta, the homeland of the Viet Cong, and entered a foreign land of murderous heat, unforgiving jungle and a new age of guerrilla warfare. This "band of brothers" journeyed from boot camp to combat and, for the lucky ones, back home - experiencing their horror, their pain, their misery, their happiness and, above all, their camaraderie together. Now, nearly 50 years later, they're uniting once again to share their stories of courage under fire with the world. Inspired by the book "The Boys of '67: Charlie Company's War in Vietnam" by Andrew Wiest.—anonymous

Extraordinary Production!
As a member of Charlie Company and one of "The Boy's of '67", watching this documentary with my beautiful at my side was one of the most emotional experiences I've had since serving in Vietnam. Lou Reda Productions, with Scott Reda and Liz Reph's outstanding creativity, went above and beyond the call of duty to illustrate the God awful conditions that we young troopers dealt with in an extraordinarily nasty terrain and climate. If the Viet Cong didn't get you, surely the extreme heat, mud, leeches, snakes, rice paddies, jungle, and swamps would. Scott and Liz, with their excellent staff, pulled together a collection of Charlie Company home videos and archival footage that tells a powerful story of combat and our unbelievable return home to harsh treatment by ungrateful Americans.
This exceptional documentary rattled me to my bones.

Outstanding, Excellent, Well researched,The ugly truth.
Quite a lot of my personal interview for the Book "Boys of 67" and subsequently "Brothers in War had to be edited and dropped because I cried through most of it,(the interview).I am a real man grandfather and husband, I cry about nothing, but the emotional wounds of that war Vietnam are still fresh inside me 47 years later, Lou Reda productions really captured the essence of what the author Andrew Weist wanted to convey and it really hits at the gut of what Charlie Company's war in Vietnam was all about, not pretty but the whole ugly truth. As John Young a Squad leader so well stated at the end of the special, what ever your views are on the war don't judge me if you weren't there. We are proud to have severed our country and we honor our fallen brothers and sister in war.
