There are some good documentaries out about the Vietnam War.I think the very first one "Hearts and Minds",by Peter Davies is probably the best of all these films.This documentary is the most effective anti-war film I've ever seen,and it accomplishes this fact through it's graphic scenes of violence and destruction(physical and moral).
Col.Patton is given a short passage in the documentary.It's inciteful because you can get a glimpse of the mans personallity.And,he comes off as,for lack of a better word,"brash".But,Colonel Patton is an old wily coyote,and even though he might sound "Bloodthirsty" to some,you can see he has this big giant grin on his face.This is the same sense of humor that got him into trouble with that Christmas card.
