Is the movie suitable for two boys - both of whom are very familiar with military issues and aren't shy about watching movies with guns, etc? In other words- why the "R" rating?

I think it would be fine for boys like that. I was surprised at the lack of blood and guts, but that did not detract from this incredible film. You did hear one of the hijackers necks snap if I recall correctly.
