No special star cast but the story is simply great. It shows the training of Vietnam veterans and how they fought. The training was done by Ronald Lee Ermey. Ronald was a real (retired) U.S. Marine Corps drill instructor. The training is the heart and soul of the movie. In some places you will laugh your heart out. A must watch.
