I believe that my husband has pre-ordered this movie.

I read it too.
While his family life was badly damaged via the stress of being in the service, this guy was EXACTLY what you’d want in a war setting. He got up every morning thinking about killing the enemy and protecting his fellow soldiers.

I very recently watched “Lone Survivor”, which was excellent. I am thinking that this movie will be excellent as well.

It is amazing Eastwood became such a great director. My ring tone is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. After the smiles, if people ask I tell them the call is going to be either of these.

I think it will, Clint is a no BS kinda guy.

I just hope that this doesn’t turn into a “loony toon” somebody goes and starts shooting up a Theater mess to protest the whole thing.

So I can see it and not have to leave the house!!!

I’m a bit slow mentally due to meds.

I’ll have to order it also. I don’t like crowds.

Man on a Mission!

It really sucks that He made it through the “Sandbox” only to be murdered trying to help another Vet.

I’m almost done with the book. The movie looks pretty strong.

I can’t make it through Lone Survivor. It took me a few months to make it through Black Hawk Down, I absolutely hate both movies.

Seeing American soldiers wounded and being hurt is like torture to me.
