We Were Soldiers is a 2002 war film that dramatizes the Battle of Ia Drang on November 14, 1965. The film was directed by Randall Wallace and stars Mel Gibson. It is based on the book We Were Soldiers Once… And Young (1992) by Lieutenant General (Ret.) Hal Moore and reporter Joseph L. Galloway, both of whom were at the battle.
A French unit on patrol in Vietnam in 1954, during the final year of the First Indochina War, is ambushed by Viet Minh forces. Viet Minh commander Nguyen Huu An orders his soldiers to "kill all they send, and they will stop coming".
Eleven years later, the United States is fighting the Vietnam War. U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore (Mel Gibson) is chosen to train and lead a battalion. After arriving in Vietnam, he learns that an American base has been attacked, and is ordered to take his 400 men after the enemy and eliminate the Vietnamese attackers, despite the fact that intelligence has no idea of the number of enemy troops. As the haunting lament "Sgt. MacKenzie" plays, Moore leads a newly created air cavalry unit into the Ia Drang Valley. After landing in the "Valley of Death", the soldiers learn that the location they were sent to is actually the base camp for a veteran North Vietnamese Army division of 4,000 men.

This is the name of the game.
That's the name of the game
We're placing the shame
And you are to blame
Through all of your fame and acclaim
You're nothing
Found
Hunt me down
Take me round
Out of town going down
Take a breath
On the floor
Like before
Washed ashore so early
Where did we go, where have we been.
When all along we should have been fighting.
For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
But I'll never know Where we'd ever go If you'd ever shown to invite me
And I'll never ever see
What we'd ever ever be
Cus I'll never ever
Ever be free
Kneel at my feet.
Stop
With your game
Push your name
For the fortune and fame
Push yourself
Not your belt
How you felt
Is all clear to me
Where did we go, where have we been.
When all along we should have been fighting.
For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
But I'll never know Where we'd ever go If you'd ever shown to invite me
And I'll never ever see
What we'd ever ever be
Cus I'll never ever
Ever be free
Take away my heart
Take away my soul
Take away the money
After everything you stole
Take away my trust
Then I trust you all the same
Then leave me in the corner
With your money and your fame
So I'll jump upon your heart
And sit upon your soul
And redirect your money
After everything you stole
Then I'll play them at your game
And they'll trust me all the same
And I'll end up here with everything
Your money and your fame.
And you'll pretend your happy
Because people know your name
But I'll be sitting in the corner with your money and your fame
But there's noone knows my face
And there's no one knows my name
But I'll be sitting in your mind
With your money and your fame
And you will keep on crying because noone knows your name
When the start of all your dismay was the money and the fame
And the night you slept with djs and said no one was to blame
And I was sat here alone thinking existence was a shame
[Slow]
Where did we go, where have we been.
When all along we should have been fighting.
For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
But I'll never know Where we'd e ver go If you'd ever shown to invite me
And I'll never ever see
What we'd ever ever be
Cus I'll never ever
Ever be free
[Chorusx2]
Where did we go, where have we been.
When all along we should have been fighting.
For what he had, what we were, what we could have been last night.
But I'll never know Where we'd e ver go If you'd ever shown to invite me
And I'll never ever see
What we'd ever ever be
Cus I'll never ever
