What it’s about. South Carolina 1967. Im Camp von Parris Island werden Joker und seine Kameraden auf traditionell-brutale Art zu Marines gedrillt. Der Ausbilder bezahlt seine Profiarbeit mit dem Leben: Leonard, sein Lieblingsopfer, erschießt den Schinder, bevor er sich selbst tötet. An der Dschungelfront in Vietnam, nach der Tet-Offensive, geraten Joker – der inzwischen als Journalist Heldenberichte für die Soldatenzeitung „Stars and Stripes“ schreibt – und seine Kameraden in den Hinterhalt eines Heckenschützen. Die scheinbar einfache Wiedereroberung Huếs gerät zum verlustreichen Desaster. Der Scharfschütze, ein Vietcong-Mädchen, wird von den Soldaten getötet. Und der Wahnsinn geht weiter …
