Hell yeah - good flick. Since you're a fan, I'll assume you've caught Uncommon Valor?

Never seen it but I saw a documentary about the SEALs and I'd love to see it.

Tom Norris is an interesting character and apparently has gigantic brass balls. He paddled a sampan into enemy territory TWICE, looking for Bat-21. I've seen him interviewed before and it's amazing how calm and casual his on camera demeanor is.

I can't remember the name of the show, but Norris and Michael Thornton were both interviewed about their MOH actions. Thornton went back to the jungle alone to recover Norris. He then carried him out, over the beach and into the China Sea. He inflated Norris' life vest and started swimming. I can't remember how long they were in the water, maybe an hour, before they were picked-up, but Thornton undoubtedly saved Norris' life.
