War movies

[CINDERS]

Just watched Danger Close about Long Tan it was a reasonable film about the battle although they played down the part the APC's played in saving the day and the crossing of the flooded river with only a couple of inches to spare free board before they were swamped (Read it in my book I have " Long Tan and Beyond Alpha Company & RAR in Vietnam 1966-67 By Lieutenant Colonel Charles S Mollison")
Not sure on the hostilities portrayed in the command center back at the base have not read that yet and doubt if it would be included in the book.
Also the part the NZ gun batteries played in keeping the enemy under the hammer not as good as Once we were Soldiers but our film industry does not have the engine room that Hollywood has still worth while watching though.
