      Interesting and insulting at the same time, let me explain
      I see much praise being given to the movie for multiple reasons, most of which I agree with. I did enjoy Angelsunchanied review which covers the major points.

      The reception many returning vets recieved varied and for multiple reasons.

      Many of the difficulties vets go thru returning to civilian life is also protrayed.

      I enjoyed the acting and performances overall but I take issue that professionally trained Green Berets, not one or 2 but 4 would react as they did, especially at the end. Rangers or Grunts maybe.
