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'.....
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...
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.
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'... :-)
