You needed technical assistance with key details in your story. The uniforms were a mixed bag. Jungle Fatigues in some cases and regular fatigues in other cases. Black patches on some uniforms and not others you had mixed helmets none of which were from the correct period I'm thinking. You have soldiers eating MRE's which were developed in 1963 but not fielded until long after. The COL leading the group had his rank on wrong and in silver in a combat zone. Finally someone thought to black them out. You got lots wrong but I thought the locations were realistic as were the tunnels and even the basic premise of your story. Also, it's doubtful in my mind that in 1966 that even most combat units were all using and fully equipped with M-16s let alone an Engineer company some soldiers would have still had the older M-14s. Name tags and US Army were White and Yellow in a combat zone which stopped well before 1966.
I did that the storyline was reasonably realistic, the tunnel rat intrigue was realistic and you were close in places but came off amateurish because you missed even basic details about uniforms and protocols. I did watch until the end rooting for them to achieve their key objective so I guess that's a plus. I hope you'll try again and pay more attention to detail more movies about Vietnam would garner watchers if well done.
