In 1967 "Chickie" Donohue, a merchant seaman, was inspired to deliver beers to buddies who were fighting in an unpopular war. And so, he packed up some suds and sailed for Vietnam to track them down. That quixotic adventure inspired the new dramedy "The Greatest Beer Run Ever," directed by Peter Farrelly, an Academy Award-winner for "Green Book." CBS News national security correspondent David Martin talks with Farrelly, star Zac Efron, and with Donohue, who describes how his experience changed his view of the war.

Chickie: "I was a staunch supporter of the war (Vietnam), but when I got there (Vietnam) I saw things that just weren't right ... and it was just false, totally false." Reporter: "Fair to say you came home with a different view of the war?" Chickie: "Yah, the TRUTH."

On my way over to Nam, another 2LT and I were sitting with this Captain who carried a golf club. I think he was either going back after RnR or for a second tour. When we got off the plane in the Philippines he told us we were going on a beer run. So the three of us took a taxi off base bought a case of beer and convinced the flight attendant that it was OK. We had a great time sharing the beer with the guys in the plane. What were the going to do to us? Send us to Vietnam? God bless the guys who did this beer run in the movie. We learned little things meant a great deal to the troops.

@Graybeard_ 2 года назад

My hair and beard are white like Chickie's is now too. I have been on some amazing beer runs in my life including skiing down the back side of a ski resort at night under a full moon after illegally turning on the chair lift, while on mushrooms. But nothing I did compares to Chickie's adventure. Salute!

Saw a pic of my commander in Vietnam in 93 my first year in the Army. He had a mini beer fridge the whole time he was in Nam. Some 2 star took his fridge away once. My commander pulled a gun on the General and got his beer fridge back. I saw the counseling statement on the event.
