This 1981 movie opens at a Louisiana National Guard staging area in 1973 where guardsmen are preparing for a weekend of training and maneuvers. Second Squad is designated as Bravo Team and it is their assignment to march through the swamp on a reconnaissance mission. Unlike today, swamps did exist back in 1973, only becoming extinct in the eighties and nineties. Now they are known by the more pleasing name of wetlands, giving them an aura of serenity and peacefulness that the word swamp did not suggest, which makes them more deserving of our protection. The National Guard was sent into a swamp in this movie, however, because the mental picture of soldiers tiptoeing through wetlands, being careful not to disturb the local flora and fauna, does not conjure up a very frightening image.
