the thing is it's about the Vietnam War for a start, almost every soldier was insane to a point (especially in the movie) - I think the real enemy in the movie was war itself, none of the characters can really be "Pure Evil" since they are victims in a way.. even Door Gunner is a victim, he's just not likeable at all due to the fact we see him killing people on-screen but all the characters (even Joker, who is the protagonist) kill innocent people.. most of the Marines in the movie are proud to kill civilians, it's judt Door Gunner is seen doing it with more "zeal".

the movie was anti-war for a reason, every combatant was shown as either flawed or mentally scarred.. so to me it's too dark a setting for a "Pure Evil" to exist.
