Purple Hearts (1984)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087956/
a very under-rated and overlooked Vietnam War movie with love drama subtext from the 80s, starring Ken Wahl and Cheryl Ladd and R. Lee Ermey.
When this movie came out, "Platoon" was still a good 2 1/2 years away, the U.S. was still licking its wounds after the end of the Vietnam War about 10 years earlier;
the Vietnam War movies up to then were dark and brutal like Apocalypse Now and The Deer Hunter and the movie going audience at the time were not ready to accept another Vietnam War movie.
4.5/5
