  I'm sure this sounds weird to many but this movie created a breaking point for me. About 18 months before the movie came out I had gotten back from Af-crap-istan which was a pretty tough deployment. I hadn't dealt with all the emotional things yet and six months before the movie came out I left the Army. I had read the book but when I saw this movie with my wife I was immediately swept back to deployment and being with my brothers. When the Chinook goes down I lost it. All of that stuff finally came out and I was balling my eyes out. I had to finish the movie of course but as soon as it was over I called up a couple of my good buddies and we chatted for a bit. Don't know exactly why it all happened but it did, and it was such a relief for not only me, but my wife who was dying to have me open up to her. Such a great movie and tribute to those guys.

  I ended up meeting and becoming very good friends with the father of one of the Seals who was on that chopper that was shot down. After years of knowing him and him talking to me about the man his son was, it made me wish I could have met his son while he was alive. Unfortunately, this friend I had passed away a couple of years ago but the one thing that made his death bearable, was the fact I knew he was with his son again. For the time that I knew him, I know not a day went by, where his heart wasn't broken about the loss of his son and the guys on his team. Every year on the anniversary of this mission, I always hung out with him just so he didn't have to be alone, and so that he knew other people knew about the hero his son was. I'll definitely miss him.

  The talk around <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23FG8f2nIN4&amp;t=780"><b>13:00</b></a><b></b> to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23FG8f2nIN4&amp;t=1020"><b>17:00</b></a><b></b> about the new guy intiation also made me realize that the embarrassing or demoralizing tasks they might mak you do, is for you to get comfortable with the environment you&apos;ll be in for the rest of your career alongside your comrades. I imagine in the SF, you&apos;d have to be comfortable around your team enough to be naked in front of them and do the most embarrassing shit and not put yourself down for it, cause at the end of the day; when you&apos;re in that team and your in a mission gone FUBAR, you and your team&apos;s comradery is literally the only wall separating you from death or capture. Being naked or embarrassed is literally nothing when your getting shot at with rockets, artillery or any other weapon trying to shred you in pieces.

  He was doing the Napoleon Dynamite dance. Tbe real life guy he portrayed was from my home town, Boulder City. His dad was a SEAL too. Such a hard loss.

  Bilzerian was in the movie because he was one of the investors in getting it made. He ended up suing them because one of the stipulations of the investment was that he was guaranteed a certain amount of screen time in the movie, and they cut most of his scenes by the final edit.

  They nailed something that i&apos;ve never seen in any other movie. When Danny the comms guy is shot up and starts asking questions at the top of his lungs. And when he notices the &quot;vivid reds&quot; because hes been checking out wallpaper colors all week. Or when he says &quot;You mean they&apos;re faster than us? my mom didnt say anything about Hajis being faster...&quot; That is absolutely authentic shock. &quot;Hey Mikeeyyyyy!&quot; SHUT THE FK UP!!!!!&quot; amazing.

  I was just regular Army infantry, and this movie really shook me when I saw it. &nbsp;All the things you talk about with how they got the banter, the terminology, and the attitudes right, I felt like these were the same guys I knew and served with. &nbsp;The whole attitude of “if we can just get on level ground, we can take ‘em,” really got me. &nbsp;I only watched it once, because it was a very tough watch for me. &nbsp;Far more so than any other movie I can think of.

  We now know ghe truth. This movie is totally inacurate. Those boys were unbelievably inexperienced and their own actions, along with their leadership, caused it all to happen.

  My grandfather was was in Japan for WW2 and I remember him telling stories of the Japanese sending waves of villagers armed with farm tools like pitchforks and swords by the hordes and the tactic was for you to waste all your ammo on them so not to get chopped up and then they would send the regular Japanese solder&apos;s armed with firepower to finish you off. He would sometimes fall into flashbacks and think he was still there fighting. Must have been brutal my salutes and respect to the veterans
