The VC/ NVA perspective would be alternating between running from B-52 raids, hiding in tunnels systems, and sapper attacks. What would be realy interesting, though, would be a movie from the perspective of South Korean Marines. They made almost all US units look bad. They were a bunch of little karate masters running around the jungles with M16s, to the detriment of any bad guys in the area.

Interesting.
As for an NVA/VC film, I think I'd be interesting. It might dissuade all of the "Red Dawn" fans who think they could wage a guerrilla war against a Soviet-type invading force on American soil. From what I've read, those guys went through utter hell, and yet they still kept fighting.
