Then why make the movie about a real person then? Stone deliberately attempted to blur the line between fantasy and reality. Something he does in all his movies. There are going to be people who will believe that's what happened and that's wrong imo.
Do you have a problem with movies that do the same but might be seen to convey a conservative/republican message instead? There is plenty of US made war films that do that and more. Are you saying that you can't handle one measly film about JFK but can handle, say, Rambo I, II, III & IV etc.?
I didn't think Rambo was based on a real person or actual events.
