It's interesting to watch this film that reflects America's defeat in Vietnam while the US is increasing its troops in Iraq.
The United States was in the same situation in Iraq during the Vietnam War. The Iraqis played guerrilla warfare: not to mention roadside bombs, there was a disguise and infiltrate the US-Iraq coalition headquarters, and 4 US soldiers were kidnapped and killed.
Compared with the Vietnam War, Americans do not know why they fought in Iraq and killed more than 3,000 people, and this number will continue to grow. It's just pity for those American soldiers who live in fear every day.
The United States must fail in Iraq, which will be the beginning of the decline of the superpower of the United States.

    Sometimes we fight for freedom; sometimes we fight for faith, and we all feel worth it. But sometimes, we fight for the greed of very few people, for the desire of very few people, we are deceived, we think these are worthwhile, we sacrifice our lives, dignity, life for this... In the end, we still Don't know the truth, don't know if it's worth...China?

Born on the Fourth of July quotes

  • Steve Boyer: You probably think it's just a hamburger. A patty's just a piece of meat, but it can have character. See that doughnut hole? Gets 18 patties to the pound instead of 16. Saves me about $40,000 a year. That's serious money, Ron. I plug the hole with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, spices. I cover it with a pickle. They'll never miss a thing.

  • Ron Kovic: [to reporters] I'm a Vietnam veteran, I'm here tonight to say, this war is wrong, this government lied to me, lied to my brothers, the people in this country tricked us into going thirteen thousand miles to fight a war against poor peasant people who have a proud history of resistance who have been struggling for their own independence for one thousand years, the Vietnamese people, I can't find the words to express how the leadership of this country sickens me, people say "if you don't love America, then get the hell out," well I love America we love the people of America very much but when it comes to the government it stops right there, the government are a bunch of corrupt thieves, they are rapists and robbers, and we are here to say "we don't have to take it anymore", we are here to tell the truth, they are killing our brothers in Vietnam, this wheelchair, our wheelchairs, this steel, our steel is your Memorial Day on wheels, we are your Yankee Doodle Dandy come home.
