Synopsis: Many people say the boot camp scenes at the beginning of the film are the strongest. My intention? Mix them into the Vietnam scenes. Hopefully, it gives the film a fresh perspective, as boot camp is now told in flashback form, with the appropriate boot camp scenes following Pyle's downfall used. Other material has been excised.
