In the film "Full Metal Jacket" a Marine chopper gunner is seen happily mowing down civilians, saying the lines "I have 100 Gooks killed" without protest from any subordinates. I understand that Tiger Force would often use these brutal tactics in the Mekong but was this common place in other units?
