Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Go Tell the Spartans is a 1978 war film directed by Ted Post, starring Burt Lancaster.1964: The Vietnam War is underway, but at this early stage of the conflict, US Army troops (which numbered around 16,000 at the time) were still only considered to be "advisers" to the South Vietnamese Army. Major Barker (Lancaster) is ordered by his superiors to occupy Muc Wa, a deserted hamlet. A decade earlier, French troops suffered a major defeat at Muc Wa, and the thinking is that if the Americans can succeed where the French failed, it would be a major show of force. But with few competent soldiers available, Barker must send the only men he has at his disposal. He hopes that nothing will go wrong, because the place is of little strategic value. But in a conflict that has already turned into a quagmire, things aren't so easy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One of the first Hollywood films to deal with Vietnam in the aftermath of the war, it only saw a limited release in 1978, but its unflinching portrayal of combat garnered major critical acclaim and it's considered a Cult Classic. | |

Go Tell the Spartans / int_1eedb914 | comment |
Avengers, Assemble!: The members of The Squad are briefly introduced one by one in the beginning (Cowboy is showed torturing a prisoner, then Hamilton, Oleonowski, Courcey and Lincoln introduce themselves in Barker's office). A bit later, all the members are brought in the same room for a briefing. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Wattsberg, who specializes in charts on enemy activity will occur is treated scornfully by Baker and Olivetti but his predictions prove to be utterly accurate, and he has enough knowledge of the ground to tell them when an important attack is upcoming. | |

Go Tell the Spartans / int_9e1e14ea | comment |
Ambition Is Evil: Averted for Hamilton and Olivetti, both of whom desire promotions but get portrayed fairly positively. What poor decisions they do make are unrelated to their desire to be promoted. | |
