The film "Casualties of War" (1989) tells the story of a 5-man squad on a reconnaissance mission in Vietnam in November 1966, led by Sergeant Tony Meserve, who kidnaps a Vietnamese farm girl named Tran Thi Oanh for "portable R&R." Private First Class Max Eriksson refuses to participate and faces disciplinary action for dissenting. The film follows the build-up and aftermath of the incident, including the consequences faced by Eriksson and his fellow soldiers when they are court-martialed and convicted of their roles in the crime.
