Excerpt from "Tigerland" -- excellent Vietnam boot camp film

An excellent film about American draftees (mostly) training up to go to Vietnam. It centers around two men who gradually become friends: Paxton, a strait-laced college student who has volunteered for war because he wanted to gain experience from "the great lesson of being close to death", and quick-witted Bozz (Colin Farrell), an unwilling draftee who has respect for his comrades but none for the army itself. The movie is set entirely stateside and ends just as the men are shipping out. Showcases examples of very good and very poor leadership. (2:24, NSFW language, French subs)

It's a good look at the relations between the soldiers, which is always interesting (and something that Band of Brothers did really well). The troops have to live and work so closely together, which can make for very solid friendships -- although on the other hand, if you dislike somebody, you can't really avoid them, or avoid cooperating with them.
