All of the films are mostly about the history of our forefathers.

Lots of us lived this history...

"The Outpost"... The Outpost

The Battle of Kamdesh October , 2009.


I lived this experience. "The Hornets Nest." Cougar Company, 327th Inf. Reg. 101st Inf, Division
27 Medevacs.

Two not mentioned so far:

We were solders - Battle of Ia Drang - From the Broken Arrow scene to the Air Cav relief landings to the illustration of modern artillery precision to the final hill charge, awesome across the board. The story did a good job portraying it from both sides as well.

I know that final charge never actually happened, but still fun to watch.



I am also partial to the Gladiator conflict with Germanic Tribes in Vienna at the start of the film. Historians have praised it as decently accurate in regard to Roman armor and encampments. They did piss on many of the formations used in the scenes.

I am rewatching "The Pacific" . Along with "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" just horrible conditions...

I stood on the deck of the USS Missouri over Spring Break looking up over those big guns. I can't imagine what those Japanese soliders were thinking when the Navy was lighting up those Iwo Jima Beaches. I guess they were dug way into tunnels so it didnt matter, but still an amazing display of firepower.

The same thing that the Marines thought when the Hiei and the Kirishima bombarded Henderson Field.....
