Wow is all I have to say.  Thank God for those guys on the ground.

I still can't watch it. I have some issues from when I was a ground dude that I just don't think are resolved enough to watch something like that yet.

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

The book for Lone Survivor was much more compelling, making you really feel his struggle. The movie, on the other hand brushed over his struggles alone in the mountain.

My step-dad was a Marine in Nam and felt the same way when Platoon came out.  That movie gave him nightmares for months
