Amen!

Glad you posted it

That was from We were Soldiers it's about the Korean war not Vietnam.

ya might wanna watch the movie again.

Vaq I may have to watch it again, but I thought it was the Korean war but now I'm wondering myself. I'll get back to you on it after I watch it again. Old age has it's price.

OK

We were Soldiers is about Vietnam: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0277434/plotsummary

Bud, I been called a lot of things. But that's the first time Reagan has been used.
THANKS!

the first major battle between the U.S. and NVA / VC of Vietnam circa 1965. The French got their asses handed to them there from the late 50's I believe....I am all Googled out this evening so memory will have to suffice.

My apologies you are correct and I am wrong it was the Vietnam war. Good movie and I liked Reagan.

I found it: "The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so."

APOLOGIES TO DOCKIT! I know he is a conservative brother!

Sometimes my jokes don't work. Go dockit!

I used to play cards with a girl who's dad was one of the sgts in the lost platoon. To this day she said he had a hard time dealing with it.

Of top ten favorites along with Rio Grande, Rio Bravo, Blues Brothers, Office Space, Casino, Goodfellas, Boondock Saints 1&2, Shooter.

The Patriot, Matrix, Master and Commander, Robin Hood (not the disney version), In the Line of Fire, and Last Man Standing. I watched The Outlaw Josey Wales for the first time today, it definately makes the list too.

I'm surprised more folks didn't know about this one. The movie, which is a great one, was based on the book "We Were Soldiers Once...And Young" by Lt. Gen. Harold Moore and a war correspondent named Joe Galloway. It was published in 1992. It is non-fiction (by Hollywood standards anyway). Didn't google...didn't have to. This is good stuff and should be in your library if you're a reader at all.

@OozeRat - You just saw Josey Wales for the first time today?!?! Hard to wrap my mind around that sir. Probably the best non-John Wayne western ever made.

I'd have to agree beaudarvil though I have never seen an entire John Wayne movie, attempted to many times but at that age I had a very hard time sitting through an entire movie no matter how good it was. Honestly I had never heard of Josey wales until I was at my in laws and my father in law was watchin it, it was about half over. Also the movie came out in 1976, if I'm not mistaken, a little before my time.
