[Go Tell the Spartans] contains a lot of statements that are meant to be prophetic in hindsight. It also considers the war in terms of countless earlier movies about earlier wars.

Go Tell the Spartans is a competent war film, to be sure, but there's no directorial commitment, no vision.

Product Description:
An less-well-known Vietnam War picture with an interesting point of view formed while memories of the war were still fresh. Lancaster plays a tough U.S. military advisor in 1964 assigned to the abandoned French outpost of Muc Wa, where he must assemble a platoon out of inexperienced American soldiers and hardened Vietnamese mercenaries. As he the conditions at first hand, his doubts about the U.S. involvement grow.
