I think as far as military structure goes its a great film

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2014)

Military films which portray true military structure is hard to find. I am a military veteran. I served as mechanized infantry and as an information Technology Specialist (These are not official titles I am using layman's terms for non veterans). We all know the enlisted do most of the real brave work and the officers generally are in safe quarters but Hollywood rushes to make the officers war heroes in films. I am not saying that there are no war heroes that are officers, I am just saying the general norm amongst most military personnel. There are probably countless officers that have done brave things but its not as common as enlisted. This is part of the reason they say the NCO is the backbone of the Army. Anyways, This film shows where people truly are in leadership and how people generally truly act in the military. I am sorry you guys in the civilian world not every real military member is a highly intelligent ken doll. This also shows brotherhood and an NCO (Non Commissioned Officer Brad Pitt) that hardly looses his cool amongst his subordinates and has gained the respect of his subordinates. I can see this film being very popular amongst military veterans.
