I was stationed south of Danang at Marble Mountain flying cobra gunships during the 'conflict' and consequently know a little about what went on over there. I was hoping for another typical Mel Gibson movie and was sorely disappointed. Blackhawk Down was a much better movie.

...The MEL GIBSON Freedom Trilogy of...

.."BRAVEHEART".. "THE PATRIOT".. and .."WE WERE SOLDIERS"..

...has always been far less about Special Effects and more about Human Hearts put under great pressure.

...With .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. it reaches its Message peak in accurately putting you in the shoes of those who fought and died in the -Valley of Death- that was the IA DRANG of November 1965 or those who waited for us to come home or NOT.

...For Special Effects go see...

..'BLACKHAWK DOWN'.. or ..'2001: A Space Odyssey.'

...For Hearts in the process of being perfected it's...

.."WE WERE SOLDIERS."

Because, after all, isn't that why we are all put here on this Earth ...to learn how to Love and to be Loved in return...

...and to live out our lives that way so that we may be with the LOVE itself for all Eternity...?
