I am surprised that the F word is on network television, surprised and rather sickened.

They had a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie about the language.

This movie is as close as is gets to horror of war. All the killing is much more offensive to my senses than the F word. Of course being as I served in the Marines for 22 years, so the language doesn't bother me, but the blood is too real.

Americans should watch this movie, F words and all, to get a sense of appreciation for what the veterans of this nation have endured for the sake of liberty.

Semper Fi,
Norb

Well said. Though I enjoy those old John Wayne movies, the characters in this movie seem much more human.

I saw this movie first time on a large screen T.V. The first 1/2 hour was agony watching. I covered my eyes most of the time and cried. If I had seen it in a Theater on a large screen, I am quite positive I would have run out of there screaming.

I cannot imagine what strength or bravery or grace men have to face this? How could the rest of us deserve this?

Thank you.
