WE WERE SOLDIERS (Blu-ray)
Added 2/24/2010
I would like to say that the PQ of this Blu-ray is very nice and crisp, but there is LITE grain in the begining of the movie. I rate this disc 4.5 stars for the PQ and the SQ 3 stars. As for the movie subject matter I rate it 4 stars. Also highly recommend Full Metal Jacket on Blu-ray!

Hal Moore... a man all men should be compared to
Added 2/22/2010
Being one for whom the Viet Nam War was 'my' war, and this 1965 action was the first major battle for our boys, I could not help buying it and watching it often. The brides of the courageous men are well depicted here, and Mel does a wonderful job playing Hal Moore....one of our Country's true leaders...

My Dad was a part of this, he had to take the parts of the helicopters that were downed and make new helicopters out of them. And I have a friend who was a medic in this incident in Vietnam.

This is an amazing piece of military history. Read it over and over. By the way, the movie didn't even tell half the story.

Very good movie recommended by George Hughes, Author of "Always a Soldiier"
Added 1/7/2010
This movie creates a very good depiction of combat. I am partial to the men who participated in this battle because I attended Officer Candidate School (OCS 4-65) with most of the young Lieutenants that were killed in the Ia Drang and Joe Marm (Congressional Medal of Honor recipient) was my last room-mate in OCS. I was assigned to the 1/7th Cavalry in April 1966 as a replacement ; therefore I had the honor of knowing and serving with many of the survivors of that battle. They were truly outstanding and brave young men.
I know that movie contents and lengths have to be limited, but I was disappointed that the 2/7th Cavalry wasn't included in their fight at LZ Albany and that Rick Rescorla (who saved many lives on 9-11) wasn't highlighted. He was truly a military hero in the Ia Drang . A part two should be filmed to show the slaughter of our men after the 1/7th was withdrawn and the valor of these men.
However, I feel that this was the best Vietnam combat film ever made and highly recommend it to all.
