I know BHD is a guys movie, but I loved it. It was sad in what they had to endure cuz of idiots like Bill C. who liked to play at soldiering. Thank God we now have a President who lets the military run their operations.

But the movie showed how super our guys were in a horrible situation.

PS: Some argue that Bill C. lacked the political support to back up our troups. That was his prob, he did things with a foot on both sides of an issue so he could jump either way. If he didn't have the will to do it right, he shouldnt have tried it to begin with. The sadness is how he put our guys into a situation with one hand tied behind their backs and not the means to bail them out if things went wrong.

Also, evidently Bin Laden was lurking behind the scenes that unfolded in this situation. Looking back, this story was never really told until the book was written. More politico spin...
