Tonight – “Platoon” Movie Showing

College Republicans and the YDSA are collaborating to have a series of war movie showings before Feb. 25th lecture, “Our War in Vietnam. Tonight, we will be showing “Platoon” at 8pm in Stuy Fishbowl. The movie is about Chris Taylor, who leaves his university studies to enlist in combat duty in Vietnam in 1967. Infighting in his unit between Staff Sergeant Barnes, who believes nearby villagers are harboring Viet Cong soldiers, and Sergeant Elias, who has a more sympathetic view of the locals, ends up pitting the soldiers against each other as well as against the enemy. Don’t miss it!
