In my opinion, you better fill some big shoes before you judge that. Still, at H-Hour, everyone marched North. We were 18 and we thought we were going to die over there. Do the characters look stressed? It's not hyperbole. The insanity of this film reminds me why: because it is characteristic of the immense hardship that our youth bears on behalf of the rest. I can't speak for Swofford, but I am still incredibly proud of my service there. Suspend your judgment of the obscenity and vulgarity until you're sure you would've done it differently. If you go and see this film, try to recall yourself at 18 (as I was). Or at least that's how I've put it in perspective 15 years later. In our wild, adrenalized youth, those aspirations just took the crude form of looking for a kill. We knew we were filling the footsteps of giants - the Marines of Iwo, The Chosin, Belleau Wood - and I think we all wanted a chance to earn a place next to those men. Many of us were frustrated that our war was only 100 hrs long. At that time, there were very few who turned down scholarships to Ivy League schools to come in. If there are a few incredible details, then we can just be grateful that Hollywood didn't impose a car-chase on us. At its essence this is a film about Marines, how they adjusted to the Marine Corps, each other, and a war. But whether it's true or not is not important. I can't say it's impossible, but I am doubtful. I wasn't there, but I can't fathom a breach of discipline on that scale. There is a scene, it's even in the trailer, in which everyone is firing their weapon into the air. Are there parts of the film that I find incredible? Yes. I love the Marine Corps and I am still serving - I don't have an axe to grind. The reality of the Marine Infantry is that things happen there every day that are well beyond conventional sensibility, and which strain credibility to the average civilian. There is an omni-present anti-war conspiracy theorist. They do both hate, and love, the Marine Corps. But whatever anyone's personal judgment of that behavior, that is the closest portrayal of Marines (or soldiers) being themselves I have yet seen on screen. Many people may think that the obscenity of some of the interactions was overdone for effect. But if you think of it as a chance to take a glimpse into a point in history, and see it as some of those who lived it did, then I think you will be impressed. If you are expecting a driving plot line and all the accompanying dramatic tension, then I think you will be disappointed (as many whose comments I heard exiting the theater certainly were). In my opinion this film is an outstanding dramatic-documentary, so adjust your expectations accordingly. My personal preference for a good plot would have been disappointed were it not for my personal interest in the film. The actors were well suited to their roles. The acting was very good, and the script was well written, witty, and accurate. From a purely aesthetic perspective I thought the film was well done. I later was moved to the 1st Bn of 7th Marines, but having been in the same unit for some of the same time I felt I could offer readers a unique perspective on the film's accuracy. As a veteran of Desert Shield/Storm, I spent my first 90 days in-theater in the Weapons Co of A Swofford's Battalion.
