This canīt be a completely unknown story can it? Think of it as a movie and NOT an eyeopener. So why canīt this be entertainment. Iīm sure you have seen movies about drug-dealers before. Prior to 1981 I met tons and I hear that in Vietnam there were a bunch..but not the MAJORITY of people...post 1981 (when the US armed forces adopted wide spread random urinalysis programs) the number dropped steadily all throughout my time in the service..what was common became rare at the duty stations I was at. Thank you MagiK. That pretty much proved my point. Not having seen it I can't say wether it was a good movie, however I have my doubts about the writers motives, there are those who just want to go negative. Again I think there are about a billion subjects that would make a better movie.Of course there are people like that. But can we be sure the writers of this movie are such people? Or could it be that the entire movie is positive? A few guys dealing drugs get busted. Iīd say that is a very positive thing. Showing what a few idiots did 15 years ago isnīt really offending is it? I find it sad.
