It's the name of a movie made by 'Oliver
Stone' in 1986. I would say, it's a fine piece of
art. Rated 8.1 stars on IMDb, which i would call
underrated.
Example 1: Platoon is a fucking great movie.
Don't you fucking agree? (Idiot,
don't question that)
Example 2: If you
don't know the movie Platoon you can go fuck yourself. (Genius)
Example 3: You ask me what Platoon means as a word? Dude, it's a name of a movie end of story. (Moron)
