In the movie, Capt. Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent on this journey to terminate the command of Col. Kurtz, who has set up his own operation to execute the war.
In a reverse parallel between the two movies, Capt. Willard goes from a pro-mission stance to being antiwar by the end (art imitating life), while embedded reporter George Beckworth is transformed from cynic to a pro-war stance by his experiences with the Green Berets.

 Green Berets and "Born Killers":  Myth-Making and the Vietnam War in American Film ~ Alexander M. ...
The Green Berets was just the kind of film that the military wanted and a grateful army eventually billed Wayne’s production company a mere $18,623.64 for the material, the eighty-five hours of flying time by UH-1 helicopters, and thirty-eight hundred man-days for military personnel taken away from their regular duties (Smith, 1975).
The Green Berets, which involves the elements of an espionage thriller, possesses many similarities to the World War II film genre, which had long been Wayne’s second home after the Western.
The Green Berets, Hollywood’s movers and shakers felt that the Vietnam War was far too controversial, and therefore unprofitable, a topic for film and for a ten-year period no other films about the war were produced (Bregman, 1987).

 The Green Berets
Ray Kellogg and John Wayne's 1968 movie The Green Berets opens with a press conference hosted by the Green Berets themselves, as they attempt to answer the snippy questions of skeptical reporters as to why we are fighting in Vietnam.
The film, of course, is an unintentionally humorous, thin, and messy shell for anti-communist sentiments, and it was in fact overseen by top government officials proving that not everyone, if they just put his or her mind to it, can write.
Other than that, we can only assume that The Green Berets, with all its pro-war and anti-communist sentiments and excessive violence was just what the government wanted it to be, as they undeniably had a hand in the production.

The Green Berets is an exciting war film that was lambasted by critics who at the time of its release opposed the war in Vietnam.
Wayne's role is similar to his part in The Longest Day (1963), but it was evident to the worldwide public that the same bravado that flew well in World War II crash-landed in 1968 in the wake of a very different war and political time.
The film also features the hit song "Ballad of the Green Berets," sung by Sgt.

That question was most definitely on the mind of John Wayne when he starred in and co-directed The Green Berets (1968) arguably his worst war film.
Wayne clearly believed that the conflict was wider than simply a civil war, however by 1968 public opinion was against him; largely becasue of the televised Tet Offensive which had occured six months before the opening of the film.

The film also features the hit song "Ballad of the Green Berets," sung by Sgt. Barry Sadler.
It presented a very interesting, emotional, and heartfelt view of the Viet Nam war from the perspective of a Green Beret played by legendary action film star, John Wayne, as well as a young Vietnamese boy.
The blunt-force emotion of the film's basis combined with the very fitting soundtrack (featuring Sgt. Barry Saddler's song by the same name) is a great film for any patriotic person to see.

One of the worst war movies and one of the worst Vietnam war movies ever.
