Saw the movie 20 years ago and remember enjoying it. Was better than I expected. We were “saving the world from communism”. We lost and communism didn’t take over the world.
Watching the Americans today reminds me of how we fought to save Afghanistan from the Russians. Now we’re there in our longest war.

Iraq ... we saved the Iraqi’s from Saddam. Libya from Gaddafi...
Personally, I think the Green Berets should be required watching with an additional history lesson to help us better reflect on our past and future choices.
Maybe someday we’ll stop trying to save the world, and quit repeating past mistakes.
