Based on a true story. Reminded me a bit of ZULU. Let's Go Brandon! FJB

I focused on the story of brave men in battle and less on the politics. Basically the UN lost this one so you might enjoy it. Let's Go Brandon! FJB

The worst thing ever to happen to cops is the personal video recorder... Now people can see the truth
