Fabulous! My favourite parts were the 'baddies' olligingly standing still waiting to be bayoneted and the Chieftains being taken out by long-range RPG and T55 fire. I'm only surprised it took Saddam's lads so long to 'win'.....

Yeah WWI with AKs and tanks gotta love it! Not at all as I remember the Iraqi army in 91!

The human wave assault was quite entertaining and there were some nice 'big toys' - T-62, Chieftain and of course the CO's BTR.

Was that the Yanks they were meant to be fighting? I thought it might have been the Southern rebels... as war movies go I thought it was as good (and as bad) as any I've seen...

Don M said...

Archduke Piccolo it was supposed to be Iraq Vs Iran but, your right
it was as good or bad as most...)

Funny, why all the bayonet fighting, when you are carrying an AK? I like the 1 guy, using the bayonet as a throwing knife, why shoot a guy with an AK when you can throw your bayonet at him, shooting is for little Nancy girls.

Don M said...

What can I say Dan other than the hyper realism and attention to truth and detail of Hollywood has
spread everywhere...)

Iraq vs Iran - I might have guessed. I just thought the thing was about a more recent conflict. One of these days, I will tell the story of how my wife (then girlfriend/fiancee) helped bring that war to an end. True story. ...For a given value of 'true'... :-)
