Where to Watch The Green Berets
- Mister ArnJune 11, 2025“The Green Berets” is one of John Wayne’s most controversial films, a Vietnam War movie made during the war itself. Rather than wrestling with its complexities, it delivers a clear-cut tale of heroism, where the lines between good and evil are never blurred. It offers an idealized, flag-waving view of a deeply divisive conflict. For Wayne fans, it’s a notable piece of his legacy, but don’t expect much nuance.
