Saw "We Were Soldiers"

Redleg

The decision as we walked into the theater: "Ice Age" or "We Were Soldiers".I wanted to see "Ice Age" and my wife wanted to see "Soldiers". Good choice. Despite Mel Gibson's penchant for over-acting, this movie was great!After all the OPD (Officer Professional Devolopment) classes I've had on the book, it was finally good to put some images with the story. I just wish my old man was still alive to talk with him about Dak To.I'm not going to ruin the movie for everybody, but what was with the reporter-I-hate-guns thing? If you go to Galloway's website, he even says that he carried his own M-16 of his own will. Thanks, yet again, Hollywood....Brian

I saw that film, too, Redleg. Quite stirring. I am still thinking about it days later.

I would like to see it but I know I would cry which would embarrass me in front of my sons. I have yet to see any of the movies on Vietnam, maybe someday.26th Infantry DivisionChu Lai, RVN 1970-71
