Fix Bayonets!"
"And they began to yell and scream and curse like mad men. Rebel Yells, blood curdling Rebel Yells. Just like the men who followed Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stuart. Here in the godforsaken jungles of Vietnam one hundred years later another crazy-like-a-fox Virginian was ordering men to fix bayonets and charge."
"......the story of Le Ba Binh is so incredible, the reader will find himself wondering if he was really a film character. Le Ba Binh can teach leftwing Americans, safe in their Constitution-backed country, the folly of appeasement. His saga, which cannot be detailed here, will serve as a signpost of honor for adults and children alike."
Le Ba Binh's 700-man South Vietnamese Marine force facing 20,000 North Vietnamese......

'Eye-opening'! Film explodes media myths about Vietnam
“The media’s impact made the Vietnam War one of the most ill-received wars in America. American soldiers took the heat for agreeing to fight. There are two sides to every story … Americans were not the enemy. They were the good guys.”It’s the wildly popular and vividly accurate movie about one of the most shockingly misunderstood wars in American history, and it soared in its theatrical release in eight U.S. cities this summer.
– Movieguide review of “Ride the Thunder”
Now the film is coming to theaters in Westminster, California; Peoria, Arizona; and Mesa, Arizona. It will show from Sept. 11 to Sept. 17. Schools are being offered free or discounted admission when they coordinate field trips to see the movie.
