    Oh my goodness her post of this. Thank you so much. What an enjoyable little suspenseful movie no cussing no sex no tourist violence just the upload shots of a man acting. They don’t make drama movies like they did in the 50s anymore. This was a very believable little war movie thank you so much.

    WOW - wotta GREAT war movie, and all because of pretty fantastic acting by the main cohort, and while NOT a new plot, they PUSHED IT to another level, and it really came together. KInda cerebral, YET action packed ! A rare gem. All on a low budget. Wow...

      Maybe no "John Wayne's, Clint Eastwood's or Jimmy Stewart's" but several of the actors, such as cooking and others had great careers. One, the actor that played Pumphrey, had a pretty good career as a young man in the late 30's into the 40's and 50's. If you still Google the car if Sniper Ridge you can see them and click their pic for the Wikipedia link for them. The guy that played Tonto was the same guy that played Manolito oh The High Chaparral. Just saying.

Thank God I missed him by 2 inches and I only got 1 moth jail , that I didn't even serve because they never gave to me, any days off, of the one moth that I was entitled as a soldier. I had 2 really rough years in my whole service, that I 'll never forget.

      God made all people from one man, Adam. All people are brothers. Unfortunately, the lying and corrupt clergy is silent about this. They even bless Racism and Nazism in the name of God.
      The problem is that the Devil rules the world. He is a liar and a murderer. This is why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why people cry over stray cats and hate their brothers. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom.
      That's why we have the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Jehovah will put everything in order. He has anointed the king, Jesus Christ. The dead will rise and we will meet our loved ones again! :-)

    I served as a Company Commander in the 10th MTN. We deployed to Mogadishu with the Marines in early '93. I have seen fear in people's eyes in training and combat ( or what they thought was combat). I could never live up to the stories my grandfather told from WW I. Or my uncle in Korea. But, I have seen men and women crack, in other units and I mean, cocoa for cocoa puffs crazy. It is weird. I ended up confronting the other company commander at the freaking airport walking around in his underwear and his 9mm saying he was going to kill the old man (BN CDR).And he didn't see half of what some of my soldier's saw. I loved my soldier they were the best I could ever ask for.

    A pretty accurate depiction of what really occurred in many instances. When men were drafted they didn't automatically buy into the military "rah rah". In fact, there were many instances of rather dumb officers being shot by their own men. War was not the disciplined arena but a general free for all when things started to go sideways. This movie successfully captures the essence of that experience.

    A common misconception prevailed that the S-mine would not detonate until its victim stepped off the trigger. This fallacy was propagated by incorrect United States propaganda during World War II. The mine would detonate whether the trigger was released or not. Standing still or attempting to run from the S-mine would be equally dangerous. The most effective way to survive the mine's detonation would not be to flee but to fall to the ground lying face down as quickly as possible.

    The interesting thing is that the Americans were the first to pull out of Korea, leaving their Allies to continue without them - before any ceasefire. Of course it was a political decision and not the troops; all because the US authorities felt that things were getting too hot. The British (Glorious Glocesters) became famous for their stand. The Allies pulled out afterwards. The US pull-out from Afghanistan was a sort of deja vous for the forces there, only then it was done without informing the Allies! When you add the US failure in Mogadishu where they were beaten by untrained drug barons, and Vietnam where they were literally kicked out of the country, it's hardly sutprising that the Allies feel that the US can't be trusted.

    Not able to last even 10 minutes. Script is trite and acting is about as good as my 5th grade boys club when we played war with wooden guns. Music is about the best part. Identical to Television series "Highway Patrol" I kept waiting for Broderick Crawford to come in camera and say "TEN-
    FOUR OVER AND OUT"

      Macarthur didn't choose the war
      Truman did and when he tried to win it he was recalled and ridgeway
      Took over and caused a stalemate
      There is no substitute for victory
      Was macs parting words!
