What a crap movie

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2010)

First off I am a big Eastwood fan ever since Rawhide and even his guest appearance on Mr. Ed. However this movie is trash. First off, I am a service brat and a veteran. Whenever, there is a CMH Winner (I know it's awarded and the holder is a recepient) on a base everyone knows it. A CMH recepient is saluted, without reguard to rank, by everyone on the post. A four-star general salutes a CMH recepient. The fact that the Annapolis major would disrespect him would never, repeat NEVER, happen. The other problem is showing FORCE RECON as a bunch of ne'er-do-wells is ludicrous. It would be like showing Special Forces troopers or SEALS as anything but elite and squared away. The fact that his own men who had seen him in uniform did not recognize the CMH in his fruit salad is unbelievable and that any member of a RECON platoon would raise his hand against a GySgt (which could net the perpetrator 10 years in the stockade) is beyond anyone's imagination. And lastly, to my knowledge there has never been a CMH recepient that has switched services. I have known one CMH recepient (I will not identify him) he was awarded the Medal as a lieutenant and basically had it made from then on. He retired as a colonel and always had great duty. They are taken care of with a capital "C."
