I still have yet to get myself ready for the film, because I know too well what it will cover....
I guess that when these events took place, that general was a colonel. Anyway, Nick Nolte did a great job of portraying a professional, human, humane, and overwhelmed officer. My hat is off to Canada for sticking it out when other nations removed their peacekeeping troops. I also have the highest regard for the Candians who served there. I would not have performed as well under those conditions.
