Call of Duty Vietnam is still just a rumor itself but there are now a few rumors floating around about it.

FMJ is one of my favorite movies (thanks to Gunny Ermey, pictured above, who you can also see in my favorite History Channel show Lock N’ Load but I digress) and any game that borrows from it can’t be all that bad.
