A lot of truth, but wrong unit.

Rating: 3/10 (12 March 2006)

Having been in the Corps in a Force Recon and Recon Battalion unit from 85 to 93, we worked with STA. I saw a lot of the what was shown in the movie, but not in a STA platoon. If this movie had been written about a straight infantry unit I would not have much to say about it. The only thing I agreed with the movie about when it came to a STA unit is that there commanders did not understand them our how to utilize them properly. I will not bore you with a bunch of details, but like I said, if this had been a regular grunt unit I would not have a problem with this movie, but STA is better than that. I am VERY glad I borrowed the movie to watch and did not buy or rent it, I would feel ripped off if I had.
