Damned you're lucky to get an early showing. I've viewed the website and am taken by the attention to historical detail to the uniforms, weaponry, and the general feeling of the times that they've apparently recreated. I am hopeful that this will translate into historical accuracy that's been missing in every film to date about the war with some exceptions such as 84CharlieMopic(Correct MOS/Title?). When this battle occured, I was a junior at UCLA and can still remember the headlines in the LA Times (As I recall, on my birthday in '65). That did it for me. As far as I was concerned, the 1st Cav was the greatest fighting unit ever. I later enlisted. As I went through Benning OCS I frequently heard about this engagement. The awe of some of the veteran instructors who'd fought there when describing the events of those days is still memorable. Those who'd been at Albany gave me an even greater sense of awe but for entirely different reasons. I later got to serve with the Cav and came out of the service proudly wearing the divisional patch on my right shoulder and Garry Owen regimental crests on my epaulets. Finest unit I ever put time in. I have to admit, I've been visiting the We Were Soldiers website frequently. Anybody who's ever taken part in a Charlie Alpha can probably appreciate the adrenalin rush I still get whenever I hear the whump, whump of a slick's blades. It's a sound I'll go to the grave with. Anyone who is interested in doing any background reading before seeing the movie should find an early 1983 issue of Soldier of Fortune (March? April?) for an article by Joe Galloway that was the lead-in for the book. There's material here that doesn't appear in the book.
