Anyone thinking War is glamorous should watch this movie.
Utterly terrifying.
Having to fight a jungle war against a suicidal enemy would test your sanity.
I saw the new movie Hacksaw ridge. It has battle scenes every bit as intense.

My Dad was in the Pacific in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. A 32 year Lifer, ABN CSM.
He never spoke to me directly about what he saw, but when other Veterans he knew, were over, and he did not know we Were in earshot, he had some harrowing stories to tell.
I think the descriptions of the bombing of Hamburg depicted the most horrifying events inflicted on human beings and yes, worse than Hiroshima

The Russians could school Hollyweird on how to make good WW2 movies.
Battle of Neretva, Road to Berlin, White Tiger, War Movie (a movie about the battle in the Hurgen forest leading up to the battle of the Bulge). All good movies. No stupid camera crap, no city blocks blown up by a single hand grenade.. Movies showing and telling it the way it was.
It is decent but I would not consider it great.

Will have to look those up. Thank you.
Amen. White Tiger is an excellent armor movie. You have a T-34 crew searching for a notorious Tiger in their theater of battle.

"White Tiger" is what the Russians called any tank that had a good crew (Top gun so to speak). If they noticed a single tank dominating the battle field, all attempts would be made to take it out first. Using any means possible from firepower to ramming it with a T34.
He will talk about it from time to time, and has been interviewed by several book writers who were put in touch with him through the VA.
He has told me that no movie could ever reflect accurately how bad it really was...[B)]
