Synopsis
A Marine patrol stops at an Army Firebase Gloria at the start of the Tet Offensive during the Vietnam war. With the firebase attacked, the patrol remains to help defend it. The Soldiers and Marines barely hold off the VC (Viet Cong), but in the end, hold the base with tenacity and help from the 1st Air CAV. They’re subsequently forced to abandon it, having lost too many men in the process of defending it. Meanwhile, the Viet Cong commander discovers that he is in a similar position: it was never his mission to win the battle, but to lead his men to their deaths in order to allow the North Vietnamese Army to take a more substantial role in the war. —wikipedia
