The Green Berets

The Green Berets was a film produced in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War. It was meant to project a strong anti-communist message and to improve the image of the US-Vietnamese allies. The film starred John Wayne. According to an article by Marilyn B. Young in the Organization of American Historians' magazine, OAH Magazine of History, the film was "John Wayne's explicit effort to sell the war to the American public".
