Probably 1967. The author was in that unit (Company A, 2/47 Infantry, 3rd brigade, 9th Inf Div) about that time frame. The film certainly didn't take place in 1969 or 1970, because the 2/47th was a Mechanized Infantry battalion during that time frame (used M113 APC/ACAV=Armored Personnel Carriers/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicles). Which of course, were not depicted in the film. Gump's unit was, to use the term at the time, a "straight leg" grunt outfit. Straight leg meaning straight infantry, all foot soldier...no tracks (slang for armored tracked vehicles).

In the movie Forrest Gump it is true to say that Lieutenant Dan and Bubba relate differently to the war in Vietnam how do they relate to the war respectively?
Lt. Dan wanted to serve just as a veteran. He thought it was his fate to fight and die in the was, just like all the other males in his family did. it was his mission to die for his country while in Vietnam. As for Bubba, he went to war to fight and leave. He was just there to serve because he had to. It wasn't his life dream to die in the war like Lt. Dan. He had future plans to own a shrimping boat and pursue that life dream. So in conclusion, yes Lt. Dan and Bubba relate to the war in Vietnam differently.
What was the famous quote from Forest Gump movie?
Bubba didn't really have a famous line. Except for his long, long list of ways to cook shrimp.
