I think this is Barry Pepper in We Were Soldiers Then.

Right, Jim! But I think the title is just We Were Soldiers. We'll leave Vietnam for a while, but we'll be back several times!

Yes, Mel Gibson shortened the title. The original book was We Were Soldiers Once... And Young. I tried to read it, but I became exasperated with it when I realized it was the true story of a small American force that attempts to fight against many, many thousands of Viet Cong surrounding them. It seemed foolish.

By my count, that's ten correct guesses in a row.

I count the same; 10 in a row! I think this is a new record...
