Duty, Honor, Pride

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2002)

This movie has been greatly misunderstood. What does it mean to be a soldier? A warrior? A hero? World War II was America's most challenging endeavor and the first test of its emerging warrior class. In war, there are two combatants. On either side, there are two types of soldiers; Draftees and Career soldiers. The issues of equality, race etc. has absolutely nothing to do with this film. This movie is about differences between Career Soldiers and the draftees. To the draftees, war is merely a game. To the career soldiers, Col's William A. McNamara and Werner Visser, soldiering is not a game. It is a deadly serious profession, even in the POW camp. This movie should touch the Hart of anyone who has been in harm's way or has family that has been in military service.
