I was a Sargeant in the 82nd Airborne Division about 20 years old. It was awsome then and I still consider it to be one of the best low budget/B type movies that I have ever seen. I Was sent to guard units off and on to train their soldiers during there anual 2 week training stints. This movie is a great representation of what I had to deal with. The real guard units actually brought Army trucks Full of beer to the woods with them. They were like boy scouts. I am fairly sure that a sequel was actually made. I cannot remember the Title. But, if memory holds true, it was set somewhere in Pensylvania and was a sort of rematching of southern guard units and northern guard units. personal vendeta stuff and strictly off the military records. I have been looking for it with no luck. Maybe I am wrong about the sequel. Still, Southern comfort is an old favorite of mine.Deffinitly worth watching!
