Lesson: First, a disillusioned society that is in disagreement with its governments policies can lead to the destruction of those that are required by duty, legality, or morality to support that government. Second, present new ideas about the fighting of Vietnam, through the eyes of the main character, that challenge the current concepts regarding the policies employed during the Vietnam War. Third, men that are forced to survive together during extreme hardship bond like brothers.
Unique goals: Have a story line that provides points to supporters of America's various policies during Vietnam and to hippies (what I am going to call the people, American citizens that did not support America's policies, during Vietnam) regarding their respective sentiments during this period of turmoil.

-US foreign policy during Vietnam was nearly perfect in achieving the long term goals of the United States.
-US domestic policy would have been more effective at creating more successful Americans if there had not been anti-American sentiment created by the hippies.
