In my opinion the best mini-series ever and likely the best "war" movie ever... I have the DVD and still get chills whenever I watch it. If I wasn't finishing taxes I'd probably watch it again.

Thumbs up Last Night....

The episode when the guys are shelled by artey fire is the stuff of nightmares.

My wife has asked me questions, a lot of questions, as we've watched the series together; I served in Army infantry long before we got married so she knows nothing about miltary life etc....

She asked me, What would you have done in that situation?

Here were my answers:

1.) Make doo-doo in my pants...

2.) Cover my ears and pray like all hell.

3.) See number 1

The movie achieved a desired result I think. After watching last night's show, she remarked, "Thank God for those boys and their bravery." What more could they ask for?
