Thank you for the info. I have seen the short commercials but that has had little substance. Than on FOX Dayside, they had the author, he seemed nice enough, but frankly they did not ask much about his experience or why he wrote this, it left me empty.
Oh well, I sure miss those good movies like "Saving Private Ryan".
If you like real life war/soldier movies try Band of Brothers. Language is bad (but what one might expect during a war) and one brief sex scene that seemed gratuitous. Otherwise it's excellent.
