Appropriate quote for this age AD.
They have been pounding the advertising on this movie on most of the Channels that I watch. (History, Discovery, Fox News, The Military Channel....yeah I know I am a diverse guy. ).
I just hope it is done well...you know Hollywood . War Stories with Oliver North did a segment on this raid back a year ago. It was very interesting.
It has a very good trailer which can be seen here....(suggest broad band connection)
