Vietnam Vets: Do you think I should write a letter to movie companies to...

...make a movie about PBR Sailors? I've been reading a lot of books about US Navy in Vietnam: particular the PBR/Swifties in the Vietnam war.

The movie "Apocalypse Now" poorly portrayed PBR Sailors in Vietnam.

Before I die, I want to see a movie that tells a story about the brave Navy servicemen in Vietnam. Most of them only talk about the Marines and Army.

Don't get me wrong, I respect every military branch. I just want to see a true story of one of the stories from a PBR/Swifty Sailor. Do you think it's a good idea to write to the movie companies?
What I meant was:

Like the movie : "Saving Private Ryan". A lot of WWII was moved by that movie because it correctly(if not worse) portrays the soldier during D-Day.
