Ranks high on my list of reality war movies.Others are Saving Private Ryan,The Longest Day,10 hour Hanks & Sielberg,"Brotherhood of War" and a German movie,"Stalingrad"
All the books were great.Col.Moore & Hollaway wrote "We Were Soldiers".You ain't lived until you have read the story of 501 Easy Co.from Brotherhood of War.

My brother-in-law was in the 1/7 1st Cav. (Airmobile) several years after the Idrang Valley, and they saw combat in the Ashau Valley which many consider every bit as tough as the former.

I was going through jump school at Benning in 63 prior to the 1st Cavs. deployment to Nam, when it was called the 11th Air Assault. A buddy of mine was at the field hospital where they brought in the wounded and dead.
