Well screw you.

Sorry. What I meant was I'd like to hear from folks who served over there in terms of the accuracy of the film itself. But, I'd like your opinion as well.

Theatre was quiet as people exited. So quote that you noticed.

Wife is an Army Brat (her words). We both hope that this film opens the door to more Vets getting help who need help.

We are also glad to live where Vets are truly appreciated and thanked for their service. Not always the case in all locations.

Her Father returned from 'Nam a changed man and never was fully the same man.

Very sad. They give all for their Country (for us really) and we don't always give them all we can in return.

I did not serve but I have renewed thanks to each and every one of you that did.

Thank You.

2006 was his third tour according to the movie, and he was in Ramadi for the majority of that time. I was with headquarters in Fallujah, tracking their missions via satellite. I remember the guy getting shot in the face and losing his eye sight. I did not know he passed away later. I also remember a hide getting compromised and a young Seal named Mike Monsoor sacrificing his life to save his teammates. He was awarded the congressional medal of honor for it a year or so later.

I honestly can't speak to the accuracy of things that happened. We were in 2 different cities, and I spent almost all of my time there behind the wire... in the rear, with the gear.

I enjoyed the movie very much.

Think about this: We have a chitty day at work because our boss, customer, etc., bitched at us; our military having a bad day usually means one or more of their fellow soldiers was hurt or killed. NO F-N comparison. 🌫

I thought the movie was deeply personal in a great way. IMHO, it's been a long time since a movie was made that did such a great job showing the personal conflict soldiers experience in times of war.

I never really understood the idea of putting soldiers in harm's way then criticizing them for the job they did. That's not to say I think we should condone unwarranted massacres but, I don't think we should sit back and Monday morning quarterback split second decisions in life or death situations. War is a terrible thing filled with young men and women trying to stay alive.

well stated.

I will see this movie, and on the advice of a friend who gets a lot of work in movies made in MA so has worked with many actors and directors, I will then watch Jeremy Renner in The Hurt Locker.

Amen!

I haven't seen it yet, next week maybe, I did read the book. Our oldest son spent a year in Iraq, including time in some of the cities in the film, before the Marines were sent there. To Abrignac's comments above, they had different orders and the locals respected that knowing if they did not the response was going to be bad for them. He said it brought everything back, but at the end of the day, they are trying to kill you and your buddies so making them dead instead just makes sense, amen.

Did I mention I thank God he came back in one piece? Or my undying gratitude to those that have served and continue to serve. My undying dislike for those that have squandered so much of our national treasure on gestures and half done efforts with one arm always tied back with rules of engagement that are deadly, ineffective and possibly designed by the enemy.

We take everyone left in there and tattoo a full chest sized image of Muhammad on their chest and back, a full forehead version as well, then water board them a few more times with carbonated pork broth, shove a pound of bacon up their ass then release them in the no mans land between Isis and non isis forces and count to 10 before calling in the drones.
