It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.

Read the book a couple times. Look forward to seeing the movie. Marcus Luttrel and his fellow SEALs have nothing but my respect.

From a literary viewpoint the book perhaps was not the greatest thing ever written, but the story was one that needed to be told, and was IMHO captivating.

Hope that is sarcasm, have never heard that comment. Great book and will see the movie, have also seen Marcus speak and it's quite an honor to listen to him tell his story. It'll make just about any man feel very insignificant about our accomplishments, extra.

Greg, did you read the book too? I enjoyed the book, just curious how the movie compares.

The book was poorly written, and the story doesn't follow the facts as they happened.

How so? I was under the impression that the only guy who was there and is still around (hence the title) was in on writing the book.

The 200 bad guys, which in actuality were more like ten, for one example.
