[QUOTE="Dirty Steve, post: 906700, member: 6896"] It is an excellent movie and really should be seen, if nothing else, as a tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The use of the F bomb is a military cultural thing. My son serves and it is prevalent in his speech and all of his buddies, though thankfully not around his mother most of the time. It's an adjective used to describe anything and start and end any sentence. That's just how it is. If the movie was made with the use of "gosh, shoot, darn it, gee wiz and shucks", it would not have come off as realistic and seemed campy. Do I like it, not really, but that's how it is. Did it detract from the movie? Not in the least in mine opinion. Don't forgo seeing this movie simply because of the use of the F word. The crowd leaving the packed theater where we saw it was utterly quiet. It seemed as though they were leaving a funeral. They were all respectful of what they had witnessed and thinking about what those who lost their lives went through, some were crying, all probably had a lump in their throat,....as they should have. Anyone who has ever served, especially in this capacity, has my utmost respect. Dirty Steve [/QUOTE]
