Just saw the movie today. It was gripping in its reality. Now that I know, I'll always remember and honor that the man with SSG Karnes was a black man.

Where was Karnes in all this.

I worked with a Marine Corporal named David Karnes (I thought he spelled his name with a "C" but I may have been mistaken) in the late 1980s. I can see him being motivated to "give something back" in a rescue attempt of the type portrayed in this film. To gain only two stripes in 12 years seems odd. When I saw the name matched (maybe) I wondered if it was the same guy.
