I have to be honest: my high vote (8) is due to my admiration for Tom Berenger, one of my favorite actors. I have read other viewers comments, both negative and positive, and have to confess my ignorance about the St. Patrick Batallion. That's why I decided to read the book Shamrock and Sword: The Saint Patrick Batallion by Robert Miller, which is very interesting. I don't have anything against this group of Irish soldiers but my sincere admiration goes to the seventeen totally Irish companies who participated in the US-Mexican war (on the US side) and were highly recognized for their courage and dignity. I can understand that the Saint Patrick Batallion is respected and admired in Mexico; however, this group of soldiers can only be seen as traitors in the U.S. As I said in the beginning, I admire Tom Berenger and he is an excellent actor. Don't accept the facts expressed in the movie because most probably this is total fiction. Look for the truth.
