GI returns to SEA for reunion
Not sure if there are many still sucking O2 that spent their youth in SEA.
A couple of my jarhead friends have taken all-inclusive tours of SEA and are visiting old friends.
Seems like a deal?
YMMV

I saw this movie when I was still on active duty. Hard to see private Joker, this old.

Those interested in the back story of Private (later Sergeant) Joker should look into the "The Phantom Blooper"
Joker didn't just travel back to 'Nam to find some random hooker...
...Joker is a traitor.

I thought this Kubrick epic was filmed in England with fake palm trees

Leaving this here for review and comment...

Joker has been living and working in a small Viet Cong village for over a year since his capture, waiting for a chance to escape. He has not been tortured or sent to a POW camp, and his captors have begun to trust him to some degree. In Joker's mind, his best chance is to fool them into believing he has converted to their cause, to accompany them on an attack against an American position, and then to make his escape when the shooting starts. As time passes, however, he begins to side increasingly with the Viet Cong, seeing them – the people he has been trained to kill – as ordinary human beings just like himself. When a team of Army soldiers arrives to rescue him, he is wounded in the ensuing firefight but manages to shoot down one of their choppers with a discarded M79 before passing out and being evacuated from the area.
