political POV
I've removed the following text added by an anonmyous editor: With the hindsight of 2002, this seems less venal than it does quixotic, with the knowledge that the South Vietnamese government was (even then) already thoroughly compromised by North Vietnamese intelligence agents. "Venal" and "quixotic" are statements about Pyle's intent, which can't be affected by information he (or Greene) couldn't have known about - and as the claim about North Vietnamese infiltration is vague and unsourced, it's not clear how the editor or reader would know about it either. It's an even odder statement since, in both the book and the 2002 film, Pyle is clearly portrayed as both venal (or at least unscrupulous) and quixotic. ←Hob 22:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

my additions
I've made some additions, although there's probably a few problems because A. I'm just going from what I remember from the movie, and B. I'm not used to the typical wiki-format (especially how to do spoiler warnings). So please edit what I've put down. 64.16.162.161 03:57, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Ben Pounds

Diolacton
Is Diolacton real? Is there an article about it? --Error (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

The bombing in the square
According to the DVD documentary, the film recreates a genuine Saigon bombing, and provides a date. I expected to find a link for the incident here. No luck. 99.228.43.228 (talk) 18:28, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
