The first half revolves around a group of recruits who undergo brutal boot camp training under the relentless Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. As they endure physical and psychological hardships, their transformation from civilians to soldiers is documented.

In the second half, one of the recruits, Joker, serves as a correspondent for the military newspaper Stars and Stripes. Set during the Tet offensive, Joker witnesses the horrors of war and experiences the moral dilemmas that arise in such a volatile environment.
