I'll add my recommendation to Jeff's. SEE IT!

Yes, there's some strong language in it. I'm not sure it was necessary. Yes, I heard plenty of the same when I was on active duty, but it's still jarring to hear it come out of the mouth of an actress.

Putting that aside, it's a very intense movie. Nevertheless, the point comes through clearly. Some brave men were abandoned for the benefit of some politicians. The politicians aren't named in the movie, but they don't need to be. We know who they are.

Remember in November!

I recommend this movie and the book. I agree that some of the language was not necessary.

fwiw.....I’m a stickler about ‘ language’

...but I was so caught up in the realism of this true story, the words rolled right over me!

Honestly, the words seemed natural & seamless......and NOT for shock effect or gratuitous
