      • Goofs
        A lieutenant orders a soldier who is planting land mines to dig them in deep. Doing this would make them useless; mines need to be planted as close to the surface as possible in order for their detonators to be activated by either a vehicle or a soldier's weight (depending on the type of mine).
      • Quotes

        Cpl. Denno: Some men are afraid of high places. Some are afraid of water. And some are afraid of being responsible for the death of a lot of other guys.

      Great Movie
      I saw this movie on the AMC movie channel, (cable). Had to be in 1997 or 98, I'm not that sure but I do know it was just before Saving Pvt. Ryan came out and AMC was playing all these war movies on Memorial day.

      I never saw this movie before so I started watching and from the first scene of the General jamming a big hunk of chew in his mouth I knew this would be a good movie.

      Well need-less to say it just got better. I only wish film makers today, or should I say movie exec's had the stones to make these kind of movies. No message, just a good story about men in combat doing the task that that job requires.

      A warriors story about warriors - Great job Sam.

      I was able to tape it too, so I have it to view anytime - what a treat.
