Pachyderms

"Dulce et Decorum est..." Popular movies have offered viewers a glimpse into the Vietnam War, but few address the reality of being a soldier in the conflict. Pachyderms is based on the true story of a soldier's experience during the unpopular police action. Young and anxious for a first military assignment, Dan Coobat is shocked to discover his first duty post is one to an aviation unit in a nonexistent outfit. With overwhelming obstacles and little formal training, Danny and brothers set about to create the 312th Aviation Company. Danny quickly discovers: "What the soldier sees (or hears) is NOT what the soldier gets." Eventually, Danny is faced with an even tougher battle... Coming back home to America. Editorial comments: "brings...to life in a compelling and wonderful way" "A no punches pulled look at Vietnam by a soldier in the rear." "...a powerful and moving story on many levels."
