Does anyone recall if I have said anything negative about "We Were Soldiers"? Because if I have said anything remotely unsupportive, I was full of it for sure :) I just watched my mothers copy here while visiting (I have no idea why she bought it, she has not even watched it yet). Anyways, long story short, sure a vet might nitpick it on a few details, but that is inevitable I think with aaaaany war movie. I am not a vet though, and I can only say, **** that movie is worth the purchase. It's now on my dvd hit list. I only watched it because it has Mel in it, and I like him basically. One of Mel's better films I think. The movie has nothing bad I can think of, and the munitions looked real for once. This film has a massive lengthy brutal hard core down and dirty fight segment that eats almost the entire last 3/4s of the movie. If that is what the Ia Drang was like, then my god I am glad I don't have first hand experience. I think this movie was a fine tribute to the guys that do have first hand experience.
