History Banter Podcast, Episode 16:��We Were Soldiers (2002)
This week, Brad Folsom and I (Cameron Sinclair) are joined once again by our friend Dong Ha to discuss the Vietnam War.�� This time, we review the 2002 war epic We Were Soldiers, starring Mel Gibson, Madeline Stowe, Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliot, Kerri Russell, Barry Pepper, Chris Cline, and a fresh-faced Jon Hamm. As always, we’ll cover historical accuracy, entertainment, and a few ridiculous things unrelated to anything.�� We’ll also spend some time comparing the different interpretations of the war in this movie as compared to Platoon (1986), which we reviewed with Dong on Episode 14.
