as accurate a depiction of the "fog of war" as I've seen.

True. Even with all the techno-goodies, the fog sets in.

We Were Soldiers Once had this in the book, but I was very disappointed in the movie.

Full Metal Jacket vs. Dirty Dozen, that's not fair!!!!

DD is so good, but FMJ has way more mass appeal I can't imagine DD advancing even though it deserves to.

Men, all this stuff you've heard about America not wanting to fight - wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of horse dung. Americans traditionally love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, big league ball players, the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost and never will lose a war, because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans.

Well, obviously this happened after the events of the movie took place...it is a great speech nonetheless.

You're confusing us with the French - please don't, we are known for our sense of humour, but there are limits, old bean.
