This film is basically a bastardization of Daniel Lang's story "Casualties of War" which was adapted into a film by Brian De Palma in 1989. In Elia Kazan's 1972 version two Viet Nam vets who were sentenced to two years in Leavenworth Prison for their role in the gang rape and murder of a 15-year-old Vietnamese girl during a patrol somewhere in Viet Nam pay a visit to the fellow soldier who turned them in, presumably for the purpose of letting him know that they harbor no hard feelings but the visit ends when they beat the guy unconscious and rape his wife. Joseph McCarthy, had he lived long enough, would have been a big fan of this film.
