seen it? i liked how it was straight and to the point. the grittiness and straightforward factuality of it all reminded me of black hawk down. i like movies that don't beat around the bush, that throw in some good quotes but ditch all of that sappy mumbo jumbo that only rings true with that part of the population that has to come out of a movie feeling completely emotionally fulfilled. in short, no fake messages. just go straight and to the point. so yeah some vietnam vets that i know thought this movie was pretty accurate and had a high opinion of it. said it was close to how the war was. anyways, yeah if you couldnt tell already, i like war movies. :-p
Moore: Our Father in Heaven, before we go into battle, every soldier among us will approach you each in his own way. Our enemies too, according to their own understanding, will ask for protection and for victory. And so, we bow before your infinite wisdom. We offer our prayers as best we can. I pray you watch over the young Jack Geoghegan. That I lead into battle. You use me as your instrument in this awful hell of war to watch over them. Especially if they're men like this one beside me, deserving of a future in your blessing and goodwill. Amen.
Jack Geoghegan: Amen.
Moore: Oh, yes, and one more thing, dear Lord, about our enemies, ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow those little *crazies* straight to Hell. Amen.
Moore: Now here in the states, some of you in this unit may have experienced discrimination because of race or creed. But for you and me now, all that is gone. We're moving into the valley of the shadow of death, where you will watch the back of the man next to you, as he will watch yours. And you won't care what color he is, or by what name he calls God. They say we're leaving home. We're going to what home was always supposed to be.
