Seeing them there, you'd so like to help them. Also the Iraqi troops learning to fight, and the two Marine sargeants who were guiding them and leading them. That was really good too. But the main thing was the Rademacher family. It was a great story.James Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715293983358801138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-16913861729215382932011-08-21T18:41:03.935-07:002011-08-21T18:41:03.935-07:00There were a lot of good scenes in this movie, but...There were a lot of good scenes in this movie, but mostly it was a chance to get to know the guys. <br /><br />In one piece one of the young guys was all about watching The O.C. on his rec time, and he was happy to have found a few people that would watch it with him. I was thinking that was a teen girl drama show, and I kept wondering why this guy was so keen on watching it, and then it comes out.. the show boasts a number of attractive young gals. I don't know how keen the specialist was for the story line, but apparently the girls were pretty great. <br /><br />Frank and 'Mongo' were great fun too. Two guys, kind of quirky whispering off by themselves in some sniper perch. Frank offers Mongo some M&Ms and Mongo pulls out a wad of chew so he can enjoy the M&Ms, to which Frank gets all out of sorts: <br /><br /><i>"Give those back to me." <br /><br />"No." <br /><br />"Don't put your slimy fingers into that bag of M&Ms!"</i><br /><br />... but the fellas knew their business. I liked those guys.<br /><br />Jake had a little trouble at first. His ways were just off. Even having two brothers in the service, he was a civilian doing a story. Later you realize that a guy like Jake was thought of as<i> "Johnny 'Burn'em' Journalist"</i>. What does that say about the actions of our press, when our servicemen presume that someone from the press will be looking to burn em somehow? It's when the fella's start to call him by the nick-name "Hollywood" that you realize he was in.James Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715293983358801138noreply@blogger.com
