500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.Comment

It's an actual event ... that should be more well known than it is.
Which is, BTW, the stated reason Luttrell wrote the book and was involved in the movie.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

SPOILER ALERT! i thought it was a good movie and enjoyed seeing it even though the screen writers threw in some fiction for the box office sake. Its still a good movie worth seeing.

Off topic the Movie We were Solders once and we were young was not a good movie. But the book is fantastic.

The North Vietnamese soldier that Colonel Harold Moore's men captured in the Central Highlands of Vietnam on November 14, 1965 delivered chilling news: "There are three battalions [of Vietcong] on the mountain who very much want to kill Americans but have not been able to find any." A few hours later, those Vietnamese made contact with the 7th Cavalry --- and thus began the first battle of the Vietnam War to pit Americans directly against the Vietcong.
The killing began right away. Not the killing of Vietnamese. The killing of Americans. Five died in the first few minutes. The hills were a concert of screams and explosions. Hiding behind a termite hill, Moore thought of another man who'd led the 7th Cavalry: George Armstrong Custer. Moore promised himself that he wouldn't let this battle --- Ia Drang --- repeat the sorry history of Little Bighorn.Last edited by Dolomite; 01-19-2014, 11:54 AM.Comment

I read We Were Soldiers also ... and I agree, the movie was insultingly bad in comparison.
Another movie like that was Full Metal Jacket, based on The Short Timers.
The first half of the movie was great, but Kubrick (to my dismay and surprise) completely blew it when it shifted from Parris Island to Vietnam.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

Wouldn't expect a movie to reproduce every factual detail
Has any movie about factual events ever done so? Probably not."I could buy you." - The Village IdiotComment

Vietcong?
I thought they were surrounded by North Vietnamese regulars.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.Comment

Its not the omission of details in Lone Survivor its the additions that put me off. I understand why they did it. I still think its a good movie worth seeing.
The Mel Gibson movie doesn't come close telling the story of what took place. It's actually half of the book.Comment
