I sure hope Hollywood doesn’t mess this one up. The book is outstanding.

I read it too, then followed up with reviews & critiques of it.
Not sure of just how much was fact, and how much was 'dramatized'...just saying.

Cool.

I believe his brother portrayed a CIA op in Path to 9-11 (censored).

$10 says that Marcus’s complimentary treatment of his fellow Texan George Bush gets left out.

I hope Hollywood did this one justice. Marcus deserves nothing but the best.

I sure hope Hollywood doesn’t mess this one up. The book is outstanding. I believe there's cause for hope. From the link:
In June Luttrell is quoted as saying, “I want to make sure that the movie is true to the book. Most people get their information from movies and TV and don’t read so I want to make sure this movie is as realistic as possible.” – Luttrell to Blackfive.net
