Chris (Charlie Sheen) is a young guy who decided to go to war in Vietnam of his own free will,
but soon regretted this decision. Chris, although from a wealthy family, compared to many others,
did not lose moral principles, compassion, and did not follow the lead of cruelty.

and to whom he regularly writes a letters from the war. Befriended Chris. Played by Keith David.
Sgt. O'Neill (John S. McGinley) is a skilled fighter who loves to brag and chat. Claims
that he can look at a fighter and understand whether he will survive or not. To a greater
extent adheres to the position of Sgt. Barnes. Like many in the squadron, he smokes cigarettes.
Lt. Wolfe serves in the US Army and is sent to the Vietnam War. Elias and Barnes are
subordinate to him, but most often, despite his rank, both sergeants, including O'Neill,
and most of the soldiers do not perceive him as a commander. The role was performed by Mark Moses.
Lerner Gator is an American soldier who came to the Vietnam War as a specialist.
He was able to communicate freely in Vietnamese and, if necessary,
with the order of the commander, performed the role of an interpreter
during interrogations. The role was played by Johnny Depp.
Big Harolder (Forest Whitaker) serves in the US Army and is one of the soldiers sent to
the Vietnam War, where he was under the command of Mark Wolfe. He knows how to support a friend
in difficult times, and not tell him about his mistakes. Received a leg wound, but survived.
Bunny is an American soldier who has the distinguishing feature of the Bucks Bunny
tattoo on his left arm. During the war in Vietnam and after his colleagues are killed, he becomes
somewhat furious and begins to kill innocent people especially cruelly. Played by Kevin Dillon.
Junior fought in combat in Vietnam as an ordinary private and is a member of the Bravo squad.
He is impulsive, dislikes and disapproves of the fact that many of his co-workers smoke marijuana
and dislike African Americans. Deals well with Bunny. He was played by Reggie Johnson.
Francis held the highest rank of private soldier and served in the ranks of the US Army,
particularly in Vietnam. Gets along well with Chris Taylor. He smokes marijuana time after time.
During the battle he was wounded and subsequently demobilized. He was played by Corey Glover.
Crawford served in the Bravo Force during the Vietnam War as a specialist. Dreams of
the day his service in Vietnam ends. He is not indifferent to girls and his favorite pastime
is surfing. Received a bullet wound in the right lung, but then survived. Played by Chris Pedersen.
Manny is a US Army soldier who carries the rank of a common private. During his service, he was
transferred to the combat area in Vietnam in the "Bravo" detachment. Like most in his company,
he smokes and carries cigarettes attached to his helmet. He was portrayed by Corky Ford.
Tex serves in the US Army, holds the rank of sergeant and was sent to the war in Vietnam.
He often expresses his dissatisfaction with recruits and opposes when they are assigned to
his team. He was seriously injured by a grenade. The role was performed by actor David Neidorf.
Sgt. Elias (Uellem Dafoe) is understanding and moderately strict. He may chastise the soldiers,
but he treats them kindly and worries about them. His measures of command and attitude
towards colleagues are very different from Sgt. Barnes, which is why they have disagreements.
Sal serves in the ranks of the United States Army as a private of the highest category.
He is quick-witted and can notice many details. Likes to smoke a kind of cigar. He is also good
friends with Sanderson, with whom he was blown up by a mine. He was played by Richard Edson.
Warren is a US Army soldier with the rank of sergeant. He often attends meetings to plan the
future strategy of the offensive. Warren shares the position of Sgt. Barnes and thinks that the
squad will not die with him. Wears a wooden cross around his neck. Played by Tony Tod.
Ace joined the American Bravo Unit, which was sent to the Vietnam War. He was a simple private
soldier who carried out orders given to him and observed the utmost vigilance during the
operation. During the battle he was wounded by a shell fragment. Played by James Terry McIlwain.

it is better not to meddle and not oppose Sgt. Barnes, because it just can't be eliminated.
Was close friends with Sgt. Elias. Likes to smoke weed. He was played by Francesco Quinn.
Sanderson (played by J. Adam Glover) is sent to Vietnam as a Specialist to serve in the Bravo
Force. He is accustomed to clearly following orders, and tries to collect as much data as
possible that can be useful to the detachment. He was blown up by a mine and was mortally wounded.
Tony serves in US Squad Bravo in Vietnam and obeys orders from Sgt. Barnes. The war itself,
as well as the position of Barnes, made him more brutal. And he considered it normal, along with
several other colleagues, to rape a Vietnamese girl. The role was performed by Ivan Kane.
Doc is well versed in providing medical care, knows how to apply bandages and tries to cheer
up badly wounded soldiers as much as possible and not let them pass out until the helicopter
arrives. Knows a lot about dangerous insects. The role was performed by actor Paul Sanchez.
Sgt. Barnes is pretty stern and confident. He has tighter command measures and does not
spare anyone. It does not matter to him whether the soldiers have sufficient training, the main
thing is that they carry out the order given to them and be on the alert. Played by Tom Berenger.
Captain Harris is the chief commander of Bravo Company.
He is strict, fair and against disagreements in the unit.
Violence does not prevail over him, and he takes serious measures against
those who committed unlawful killings of people during the mission. He was played by Dale Dye.
