Sisco Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Looking forward to a movie for the first time in a long time.
survivalshop Posted January 18, 2018 Report Posted January 18, 2018 Even though a couple of the war fighters that participated were advising for it , Commiewood still made it . They have more ways to fuk up real life events for sensationalism & fantasy .

They didn't for "13 Hours", they didn't for "The Darkest Hour", so you never know.

mrmackc Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 Did our side win? I kinda like it when our side wins like Iwo Jima and all of them Tom Clancy movies (Hunt for Red October)

Jack Ryan novels are some of the best out there. He also did really well with the books on “The Campus”

There is a book out about this one specifically, and the book isn't that old. There are a few older books out there that talk about their actions, as they pertained to (what turned into) the larger operation. This is an excellent book on the opening days:
edgecrusher Posted January 21, 2018 Report Posted January 21, 2018 My wife just got me the latest for my birthday. I have all of them except for the ops center books.

survivalshop Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I'm watching it now . At home . Edited January 26, 2018 by survivalshop
survivalshop Posted January 27, 2018 Report Posted January 27, 2018 Good action movie , I liked it , but it was still Commiewood sensationalism . What a hand full of well trained & dedicated SF & Air Power did , is just remarkable .

blue109 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Posted April 4, 2018 Finally popped up on my download site. Entertaining. Cant touch 13hours or lone survivor though. Seemed a little hollywooded out with the scenes of a small group of horses charging past multiple vehicle mounted heavy machine guns. I imagine Last Samurai is a more likely outcome of that scenario. I didnt like Chris Hemsworth as the lead, but the rest of the cast was solid. They did have alot of sweet authentic combat vehicles. The real story is amazing. I think they could have done a little better on the movie. Was still pretty good.
98Z5V Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Posted May 5, 2018 This just dropped on DVD. I snatched it at Walmart tonight. Watching it again now.
