What are you talking about? That movie must have devoted over 5 minutes to Sean Connery marching around with a bunch of Scotsmen playing the bagpipes behind enemy lines.
Actually, if you want one of the more balanced true war story movies, I suggest you take a look at We Were Soldiers. It doesn't really have a slant (except perhaps an anti-war one). You can be sure that it had to pass through the rigorous scrutiny of my Vietnamese family before I could make a declaration like that.
