For our Australian friends:

The gentleman asks why out of all the movies Americans make about Vietnam - why are they never mentioned? Well, I really get a laughout of this. This is usually the cry of frustrated Englishmen about WW2.

First off they are American movies about American people for American audiences. Notice anything here?

Secondly- the Australian contingent was rather small (though of good quality) compared to the overall American commitment.

By the way the Thais, South Koreans, new Zealanders or filipinos dont get much air time either.
