We Were Soldiers
Flint | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 04:47 am     Just saw the movie this afternoon. It was VERY graphic in its depiction of war, on par with Saving Private Ryan. Mind you, it is no Saving Private Ryan. Different wars, motivations, outcomes. It does give a fair depiction of the first battle between U.S. and North Vietnamese forces in Vietnam. The battle of the Ia Drang Valley. One of the nastiest battles of the war. It also shows life on the homefront before and during the war. If you don't mind graphic violence you will enjoy this. It was pretty good. |

Buttercup | Sunday, May 05, 2002 - 09:28 am     Flint, there already is a thread about this movie. Just go here Thanks for posting though It reminded me that I was supposed to post about my experience seeing the movie, as well as a documentary with some of the "real" people who were there. I also had an intense meeting with veterans of the war not too long ago, which I am planning to say a few words about as well. Just need to get through my finals and this semester first
