The Movie "Platoon" by Oliver Stone is my last media connection to "The Sniper" because the movie is about the war between the Americans and the Vietnamese, a small group of American soldier go into a village and kill innocent people from Vietnam because the couldn't find the Vietnamese soldiers, then they burn down the village. I think that is a connection to the story because in the story it talks about how empty the town is and and i can imagine the town being tortured by the soldiers when they had first came for no reason at all, i can imagine the town being a mess. In the platoon a lot of the American soldiers were drafted, and some were trying to get a good education. That reminds me of the student of Dublin in "The Sniper" because he is sitting on the roof very quietly and nervous, not really aware of what is going on. I chose that picture because it shows the American soldiers harming the Vietnamese people for no reason but to find where the Vietnamese army was.
