We Were Soldiers -- The New Mel Gibson Epic
Quicktime Movie Trailers ^ | 12/09/01 | N/A

Posted on 12/09/2001 2:27:55 PM PST by Rocko

This is the trailer for the eagerly awaited Mel Gibson epic. Didn't see it posted before. The book is excellent -- but will the film be worthy?

I've got QT-5, but I must be doing something wrong. Neither this, nor any trailers i've tried to download recently has worked. Can anyone be of assistance? I'd appreciate it.
I'm using a 700-mhz machine with Windows 98.

The one blot on his record is that damn Lethal Weapon (II?) movie which depicted "cop killer" bullets penetrating a bulldozer blade.

On the whole, though, a great fellow.

How sad.
I'd seen that photo of Rescorla for YEARS...it surfaced on every Memorial Day, June 6th,
July 4th, or other major holiday when the "Honor the Military" theme would arise.
And I hadn't a clue who he was.

So, as a long-time OK, I bump for Rescorla: as he earned both a bachelor's degree and
law degree at the University of Oklahoma on the G.I.Bill ...after he became a
modern-day legend in Vietnam.

Rescorala, who came to our shores from the United Kingdom, was just about
a one-man argument for keeping "the golden door" open, even if we're more cautious
after 9-11.
