I saw it last night with my dad. He's a WWII veteran. Although he's in his 90's he's sharp as a tack. He had read "horse soldiers" and said, "those Green Berets are great soldiers". He was really excited to see it.
The true story is so incredible that all Hollywood had to do was tell it and the film would be amazing. Too bad they didn't use the actual soldiers as technical advisors.

I thought it was an OK movie, maybe wait to see it on Redbox. The thing it does show that liked is the complexity of Afghan history and working with Afghan troops. It also showed the brutality of the Taliban in one scene.
Also the movie had some interesting previews such as chappaquiddick. Link below https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chappaquiddick/

One movie about honorable men, and another movie about a cowardly liberal icon - dishonorable men.

As for the movie. Finally saw it at the dollar movies. Yeah, I could kinda' recognize an A Team in there somewhere. CO, XO, commic relief, couple of stone cold killers and a medic. Was there a Team Sergeant in the movie? Didn't notice one. Was surprised a bit at the crowd. It had been playing at the dollar movies for a couple of weeks and it was half full for the 3:00 show.

Wow, I'm late to the party on this one. Yeah I remember that Pete. Remember the RGR's jumping in and landing IIRC several clicks from the DZ?? Poor dudes humped their asses off with all their shit to the turn in points. What a trip that was. Wasn't the RGR infil supposed to be one of the longest ever?? Seems to me I heard it from somewhere... Anyway, back on topic. When I first got to the commo committee as a GS in 03, we had one of the guys that was on that endeavor, had some good stories... I believe he went on to be a Chaplain, or chaplain asst
