I am haunted by this film. Haunted by the impossibly Quixote-like position of the platoon; the valiant determination of their CO; the tragically heroic, yet ultimately victorious conclusion. Anyone who's seen action in the East (WWII, Korea, Vietnam) will recognize the realism and humanity of "Men in War".

By Nancy Jaguarinaru LionStorm (349hvywpnscrew) on Unrecorded Date:

“Tell me the story of the foot soldier...” begins the excellent, suspense and action filled, “Men in War.” This film masterfully depicts the exhaustion, fatalism, bravery and fears of an American platoon, cut off and surrounded in war-torn Korea.

In a significant supporting role, Vic Morrow portrays the very young and vulnerable Private Zwigley. Overwhelmed by the horrors of war, Zwigley maintains a tenuous grasp on reality, yet retains enough awareness to be shamed by the involuntary tremors that wrack his body. Mr. Morrow's skillful performance pays tribute a citizen soldier, shattered by the agonizing realization that each moment may be his last, yet able to find redemption in this magnificent study of the psychological effects of war.

IMHO this is MUST for Vic Morrow and Combat! Fans.
