Loved the movie. Hollywood changed a few things from the book of course, especially the ending. It was really good though.
My friend saw it. Said there wasn't a dry eye in the house and there was a standing ovation at the end.
To think we have soldiers, who willingly face death, who watch their brothers in arms did, who suffer terrible physical and psychological wounds to protect our country...only to come back to a government that plays politics with their healthcare and benefits....it's UNFORGIVABLE.
God bless all our service people.
Once you're finished, it'll stay with you for a while....So, I picked up the book at Sam's today for 5 bucks and some change. It'll be a day or so's read if I stay off OSA
I read "The Outpost" as well, it had more of an effect on me than "Lone Survivor". A couple places I just had to stop reading or wouldn't be able to get to sleep from thinking about what those guys had to go through....but in the last few months I've read "Lone Survivor", "The Outpost", and "Fearless"
That and to have a CIC who doesn't believe in the mission and whose making decisions based solely on politics. Purely and utterly disgraceful. I'll just stop at that before I get into trouble.
And yes I do have the Gates book on pre-order, it should be here this week along with Lone Survivor which I have read but since lost. I bought it again and plan on seeing the movie tomorrow. Our military are better men and women than I. I don't think I could bring myself to serve under this guy. I guess if I were younger maybe...
I've no desire to see the movie. For some reason, I'm not a fan of modern "War On Terror" movies....for whatever reason I can just do fine without watching them.
Plus, I saw the 60 Minutes documentary, and I know how it ends.
