We were Soldiers. Go through the deleted scenes, the Church showes Gen. Moore and his wife. The lake is the best deleted scene.

Got the DVD and the book for Christmas.

The first and last scenes

Sad thing about that movie is that it told the whole story of the Vietnam war and Mel didn't include it. The battle of Ia Drang (sic) was the first full scale encounter between the US Army and the NVA. We "won" by a 20-1 margin. MacNamara and Giap both looked at those numbers and thought, "yeah, we can win this". Guess who was right? :-\ Still it is a great movie for a kid, and the final songs are worth the ticket price alone.

FQ just remember Giap didn't win Crap. Le Duc Tho won the Vietnam war.
I don't think it was ever released on DVD, only VHS, but if you ever find the movie " 84 Charlie Mo Pic" watch that.
Think Blair Witch in Vietnam

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Jeremiah Johnson is on TBS Sunday at 9P.M. Love that movie. Others that are great Patton, To Hell and Back, Pork Chop Hill, and The Longest Day.

Great movie.
Gonna be on AMC (Ch. 130 DishNet) on Sunday night too.

I've never seen Red Dawn either.......

I kinda been itching to see Uncommon Valor lately. Haven't seen it in a while. Big Jake, I've watched 6 or 7 times in the last month. The Shootist twice, and El Dorado once. Sgt. York is one of my favorites.
