I'm sure lots of liberties get taken for Hollywood. I haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge but I remember when We Were Soldiers came out and I asked my uncle who was in Vietnam 1968-69 as a Marine 2nd and 1st Lieutenant if it was realistic or not. He corrected a few things that would not have happened in real life. He basically described being in a combat zone to me as being weeks of boredom interspersed with minutes of sheer terror. War is always horrible. Some hand to hand to hand may happen now but the recent conflicts are much different than WWII or Korea were, not easier for the guys fighting it to deal with, just different. Most of the guys, my grandfathers included, never said much of anything about their time in the service. | |
