Harry Poster is a fiction. This movie is like the Germans making a movie about the Battle of the Bulge and having it end with them sending the Americans terms of surrender as they did...half way through the battle. I do understand that they couldn't make the film 4 hours long though. And, ultimately you may have a point there. I just find it a little more than convenient that the screenwriter ended the film when he did. I'm surprised Moore allowed his book to be bisected the way it was.
So that regardless of where one has contact with this ridiculous film they understand it only tells 1/3rd of the story. We owe it to the fallen soldiers of the 2nd/7th and ourselves to understand.
Funny how the screen writer was SOOOO interested in "getting it right" that he only told the story of the first third of the the book "We were soldiers once...and young". What the film fails to tell us is the massacre of the US soldiers at LZ Albany a day later. The 2nd 7th was ambushed while marching to a second pick-up landing zone. It was a route. As the title "We were soldiers" implies, the movie only tells part of the story "We were soldiers once...and young".
i agree with the description.. if it werent for the veterans, then our system wouldnt exist.. I salute each and every single veteran fought in each and every single battle/war whether they come from the enemies side or our own..
go d bless to all the AMERICAN SOLIDERS that served this awsome country thanks god bless (freedom of speech i can say that hurrah )
