I mean add 20 years and move it to Central America and you have Predator.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ll always watch Dino movies.

In the Winter of 1969, an elite force of the US Army was sent on a top secret assignment in Southeast Vietnam. The objective: rescue Sgt. Four Leaf Tayback from a heavily guarded NVA Prison Camp. The mission was considered to be near-suicide. Of the ten men sent, four returned. Of those four, three wrote books about what happened. Of those three, two were published. And of those two, only one got a movie deal. This is the story of the men who attempted to make that movie.

I heard John Fogerty say that he met a Vietnam vet who told him that every night before his squad went on patrol, they would crank up Bad Moon on the Rise.

One of the best responses I’ve ever seen on this board. Well done.
