  • 2 of the Green Berets who inspired the story told in 12 Strong joined Pat and the boys for a conversation. During that time, we ask how much of the movie really happened.

      Exactly, Willie. It makes me sick to see Hollywood bowing down to the black man in the name of "racial equality" or whatever. There were NO black guys in ODA 595, only White guys. The movie should have honored that.

    Seems like it's still okay to like 12 Strong. It's right up there with Band of Brothers, Black Hawk Down, and Generation Kill for me.
    It's not like I'm liking The Hurt Locker or something.

      @@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp Yeah, I will say that 12 Strong didn't have something that those other 3 did. I think it's because 12 Strong was touched by the DoD, and thus neutered of dark humor and didn't effectively show the microhistory of the War in Afghanistan.

      I think their mission is mostly to act as advisors to allied forces in other countries. Most of their missions remain mostly as teachers but I'm 100% sure they do other clandestine shit they cant talk about.

      @@AznGamingNation1140 That is what the berets say themselves too. They go in and get the locals up to snuff to fight their own war, by being billy badarses themselves. They are cross trained on EVERYTHING, each other's jobs, weapon systems, enemy combat styles...everything. I forget where it was, Spike's Deadliest Warrior maybe? But a rep from the Berets mentioned that they hardly ever even wear armor unless it is a straight destroy mission, and even then it is rare.
