Can't wait for "The Last Full Measure" to come out, but I haven't heard a release date or even if they are up and running yet.

As was Tom Berenger as Longstreet, arguing against the center charge and stressing that the rules of war have changed and the reality of modern warfare favored the defender. As I recall, his fellow officers said after the war that they didn't remember Longstreet having those reservations during the actual battle.

He's a damn good actor... a true 'chameleon'.

We thoroughly enjoyed that movie, Mike. We've watched so many documentaries and War of Northern Aggression movies lately, but Daniel's portrayal of Chamberlain is etched in my memory forever. Being totally pro-Southern, Chamberlain, in all I have read and seen has certainly won my respect.

Except that the movie was so damn PC. Same for "Gods and Generals."
