Go Tell the Spartans

Go Tell the Spartans (1978)

We're getting strafed, shelled, bombed, and blasted. And it isn't even our damned war!

A unit of American military advisors in Vietnam prior to the major U.S. involvement finds similarities between their helpless struggle against the Viet Cong and the doomed actions of a French unit at the same site a decade before.
