Very good movie, and I have the utmost respect for Marcus and the special op guys. I love the SEALS and have friends that were SEALS. I think this movie tells their story well, but not as well as Marcus did in the book. Having served in Nam in 66, my own opinion is that the average grunt isn't portrayed at all. But this movie wasn't about the average grunt either. If you want someone to learn about what war is about for the average grunt, watch We Were Soldiers and Full Metal Jacket. These show the story of war with a new guy and a minimum amount of training.
