Rambo didn't fight here.

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2002)

Mind you, this is not a gung-ho war movie. Rambo didn't fight here. It is brutal, honest, and at times painful.
This film, although assuredly graphic in nature (what war is not?), pulled some emotions from me that I did not expect:
AWE: My father is a veteran of Viet Nam; I realize now that my mother is the bravest woman I know.
PRIDE: My husband, a veteran of Desert Storm, continues his military service today.
GRATITUDE: Finally, a war movie that honors the efforts of the soldiers of Viet Nam. It's as if, at long last, Hollywood has offered the Heroes' Welcome to these brave men.
A movie worth seeing, if only to remind ourselves not to let such disdain for necessary evils happen again.
