Но его намерения идут вразрез с уставом американского офицера. Вдобавок ко всему, офицер оказывается связанным любовными узами с вьетнамской женщиной. Он решает вернуться и рассказать правду о войне и пытается исчезнуть с поля боя…

Во время игры в прятки маленький Кайл нашел сундук своего дедушки Бада, в котором хранились вещи, оставшиеся в память о войне. Бабушка посоветовала не показывать деду находку, потому что лежащие в сундуке вещи только разбередят старые раны и огорчат старика. Но, несмотря на ее запреты, Кайл все же решил показать сундук владельцу. Поначалу дедушка Бад не хотел открывать ящик, но внуку удалось уговорить его на небольшое одолжение в честь Дня поминовения: он выберет любые три предмета из шкатулки, а Бад расскажет три истории о войне…

A fascinating portrait of the maverick Washington journalist who, blacklisted during the McCarthy era, started his own paper (running it for some seventeen years) and became a master political gadfly. Stone himself is a delight: witty, irreverent, forever puncturing the lies he claims it is in the nature of all politicians to tell. Brilliantly edited throughout, the real triumph of the film is the way it intercuts Stone's comments with newsreel footage to demonstrate how much of a point he has.
