SnakeEater didn’t have the complaint, he’s just repeating what he heard. You are right about the Senior Chief’s speech. It was a great one. Spot on about living our lives as they do.
I didn’t know Martin (cousin on brother-in-law’s side) very well. I only met him twice with the last time at Christmas three years ago. He was one of the funniest, family oriented, warm people I’ve known, and committed to his Special Forces career. Unfortunately, his son who wasn’t born will not get to meet his outstanding dad. Martin was killed in action last year in Afghanistan. Wish I could have known him better. AoV is as much a tribute to SF as it is to the SEALs. God bless ‘em all.
I understood that, implied in SnakeEater's comments however was that they were inclined to believe those "complaints" and appeared to be basing their decision on whether or not to view the movie based on those complaints.
My intent in my response was to get SnakeEater to put aside the "complaints" and make up his/her own mind by going to see the movie. As for me, I'd purposefully not read any reviews of the movie. Part of what influenced me to go was an interview with the two producers on Fox News this past week. They seemed to be genuine in their respect and admiration for those who serve our country, and I personally had no interest in seeing a "hit piece."
I'm glad I went, the movie raised my level of respect for all who serve up another level. Via that movie, we were given an insight into the lives of our country's best and brightest that we'd otherwise never see. For that, it was worth the price of admission - and a whole lot more.
Given your own connection to one of those great men portrayed in the film, there is a unique, special significance for you that the rest of us may likely never know. You met a great man who served a calling far greater than himself. He, his wife, and son whom he won't meet on this earth should have our unending respect and gratitude for their sacrifice.
