There is reference to soldiers raping/attempting to rape some villagers

A man talks about how he loves p*ssy

In one scene, in the background, you can see a poster of a fully nude woman.

A man reads Playboy.

A man holds a small statue of a nude woman.

Intense war violence, quite realistic graphic gore in some scenes. Examples are a man is shot in the lungs and has trouble breathing while oozing blood. A man is piecing his internals back in. Many men are shot and killed, wounded, and screaming. A brief scene of taking wounded men back to an Aid zone, though it is a short scene there are many sitings of wounded men, dead mutilated bodies, and medics covered in blood. A scene of torturing a Vietnamese soldier ends in much blood shed (brains are implied but not seen).

One soldier loses a hand when another soldier accidently throws a grenade in his direction (some blood is shown). Two men are in a Vietnamese bunker when it explodes, and one emerges with no arms. One soldier has his leg blown off by a booby trap (the injury is not shown). In one battle scene, a soldier runs away from his foxhole, but runs into a tree and is then bayoneted by a Vietnamese soldier.

A rape scene which is quickly ended by interruption.

Contains frequent strong language. Many uses of sh*t, ass, f*ck, b*tch, and one use of the "N" word.

Alcohol, cigarette smoking and marijuana smoking are all depicted. It is implied that doing "shit" will wear you away from your worries.

a scene in which a Vietnamese villager is being tortured by soldiers, especially the conclusion, may be very disturbing to many viewers

one theme of the film is that of some of the soldiers who have been there for as short as two weeks going insane with bloodlust and mental visions. this may be disturbing to many viewers
