Misleading

Rating: 4/10 (21 January 2008)

After 13 months in Korea at the time, I was about ready to come home while Heartbreak Ridge was being fought. In the first place the battle of Heartbreak Ridge was mainly fought by the 2nd Infantry Division. Secondly, the major units of the Grenada Operation was the 82nd Airborne Division, and the 2nd Rangers of the US Army. The movie pretty well is factually incorrect in that the only participants in the Grenada Operation seemed to be Marines. Usually when you see something in regards to the Korean War (the forgotten war), it would seem that the Marines were the only ones there. In fact, there was only 1 Marine Division, but many Army Divisions that fought that war. Of course Hollywood has always took liberties with the facts.
