I enjoyed the film. Its a story, not a documentary. In the mid-60's I would talk with my next door neighbor on occasion. He was wounded in the lower leg. would raise his pant's cuff and show what appeared to be scars from two bullets. He was in the cavalry out West, before then.

He showed my younger brother (probably seven at the time) how to throw a grenade.

during the field hospital scene, I thought of Mr. Kennedy and pictured him laying in a similar situation.

He never mentioned the gas attacks. Maybe he was shipped away before that started happening.
