She was wrong then and she's not making it alright now. Our troops went through hell over there, as they've done in every other war and it's our duty to embrace and support them.įifty years ago it was Martha Radditz and her type that were spitting on my fellow Marines as we returned from Vietnam. Both overrun by seemingly hundreds of enemy combatants.
(From Blackhawk Down) a Blackhawk helicopter in the streets of Mogadishu is substituted with a Humvee on a Sadar City street. "Don't pick it up, kid!" states the soldier to himself as he's about to shoot him. (From American Sniper) An "innocent" child approaches an AK-47 lying on the ground. The soldier used the same mocking-type inflection in his delivery. (From Platoon) Sgt Barnes is famous for asking some of his pot-smokers, "What do yall know about killing?" In Long Road Home, the word "War" was inserted to replace, "killing". (From Saving Pvt Ryan) What's a good fire fight scene without the soldier who recites scripture before squeezing off a round? During the 49 minutes of episode #3, I found at least four instances of material purloined from other war movies. She's snatched the crown away from Oliver Stone. This time Martha Radditz does her dissing of our American military by portraying them as demoralized, bumbling idiots (Where oh where are my flares? I must have dropped them!).

It's just another war movie with a not-so-subtle liberal slant that's flavored with a good healthy helping of righteous shame. Today I watched episode #3 of The Long Road Home. Overall, a good series, just dont give up in the first few episodes it gets a whole lot better. Makes the effects of war very realistic and stark. The final episode is very poignant, with a great emotionally-manipulative twist. the action got grittier, more intense and more compelling. These all lifted the engagement level significantly. The dialogue and interactions became more plausible.

The soldiers backstories went from mundane meet-the-family stuff to interesting series of events, linking in with their current situation and revealing their characters. However, from a point, the series clicked into gear. Comparing it with Generation Kill is obviously a very high standard to emulate, as Generation Kill is one of the best military mini-series of all time (only Band of Brothers is better), so maybe disappointment was inevitable. The first 2-3 episodes were all like this, to the point where I was thinking of giving up on the series. The unit brotherhood also seemed quite artificial, with forced, unnatural-feeling dialogue and interactions. Scenes showing soldiers with their family seemed token, padded and superficially sentimental. However, the series immediately failed on the engagement front.
based on a true military story, follow a unit and are engaged by the camaraderie, gritty action scenes. I was initially expecting a Generation Kill-like series, i.e.
Pretty good, but requires some patience to get there. What follows is a life-and-death struggle against overwhelming odds. However, the relief column is itself ambushed, the main aim of the initial ambush. The platoon holes up in a house and reinforcements are sent to extract them. Everything seems peaceful until one day a platoon is ambushed in the city while on patrol. The US 1st Cavalry Division has recently relieved the 1st Armored Division in its occupation of Sadr City, Baghdad. Requires some patience but well worth it in the end.Īpril 2004.
