excellent movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 December 2005)

it's going to be hard for you to understand this movie if you have never had any connection to the military. most civilians cannot comprehend how a man can love something that keeps giving him the sharpest point of the shaft, over and over. civilians do not understand the concept of "sacrifice" in the way that military men do. this movie accurately captured the waiting, the goofing-off, the capability of the American fighting man. it showed exactly how much you can hate something and still want to re-enlist in it. if you liked the movie, i also recommend reading the book--it goes further into depth of the mission of the STA 2/7 and the life of a grunt.
