Pros: Title song is memorable.
Cons: Screenplay is awful, characters are straight out of old WWII movies.
Fighting soldiers from the sky. Fearless men who jump and die. Men who mean just what they say. The brave men of the Green Beret. -- Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler, "The Ballad of the Green Beret." Since the mid-1950s, a time when the Cold War ...

Pros: The Duke. The Duke. A good guys versus bag guys simplistic story.
Cons: It's a piece of LBJ propaganda, and it shows.
Ah, John Wayne – “The Duke”. How I miss him!

Pros: Good action scenes, suberb acting on the part of John Wayne
Cons: Not good for those who can't handle war or violence
The Green Berets, starring John Wayne, is the only movie ever to be made in support of the Vietnam War. It is the story of a group of Army Green Berets (Special Forces Soldiers) fighting in Vietnam. This movie features non-stop war action and superb...
