A little later, the same thing happens to the roof gunner on Tom Sizemore's hummer, one shot, right in the throat, instantly dead.
Kind of drove home that in those kids of conflicts, you can be dead in under a second, and not even see it coming. Kind of steals all sense of security.

thats the way i felt when i first saw platoon ...
the panic of being in a firefight - tracers flying around you - you cant tell friend from foe ...
it was a long time before war films actually portrayed war as the fucked up mess it really is, and not just a showcase for heros..
