I'm sure my uncle has a copy on DVD somewhere. I could probably get him to send me a copy. He's a big war movie guy and has tons of them.

Did you even read my post? I said in it that Apocalypse Now is one of the best movies of the 20th Century.I never once said that Charlie Sheen was a bad actor.
I will shortly though.
Martin Sheen starred in Apocalypse Now not his son Charlie Sheen.
Charlie Sheen starred in Platoon then in 1990 he stared in Navy Seals and shot his career in the foot and has never recovered.
As for Platoon the best actor in that film by far is William Dafoe.
I'm surprised that you get so riled up by people on this forum when they say even the slightest anti-military or anti-war notion yet you have no problem watching a movie that has an anti-war message and deceptions American soldiers using drugs and killing innocent civilians.How that what not get you a little riled when this forum can that surprises me.Unless of course you enjoy the simulated combat so much that you do not care about the fluff.
You should watch "Born on the Forth of July" some time the main character in his youth reminds me of you or at least how you appear to be on this forum.
