Thee most heart-moving experience ever witnessed by a man!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2004)

If one believes in the saying, "men don't cry, or men don't have hearts", they have obviously never viewed this film. This is quite possibly the greatest film I will ever see. Only a soldier can know what it's like to willfully remove himself from the warmth,love and comfort of his family to a sinful, deadly world of war. Colonel Moore dressed himself that night in his battle fatigues, kissed his children goodbye, and walked away from his family, not knowing if he would ever return again. If this doesn't make a grown man's heart buckle, I don't know what would. How many of us would do that exact same thing and not have tears flowing down our cheek? Then, if that wasn't enough, how many of us would take up a leadership position knowing full well that many of your men would not be returning to their families? Could any of us in that position live with ourselves ever again? Well, I'm sure General Moore today re-lives these very same feelings over and over. I salute you General Moore. I hope to one day meet you and shake your hand and tell you "Thank You for what you sacrificed for this Country". I wish to also thank Mel Gibson, who brought the General's actions and feelings to us in the way he always does - perfectly. I wish to thank Randall Wallace for making it all possible by directing this wonderful film and helping me learn more about life and the sacrifices we must all face one day. I never served in combat. I guess it wasn't meant to be. But having served in Panama prior to the invasion in 1988, I realize now just how close I came to that ultimate sacrifice. Thank You again gentlemen for making me feel like a true man.
