Excellent tale of the Vietnam war uncolored by lying lefty media, but to keep facts straight, and not become more like that lying lefty media, allow me to correct a few things I know for sure are not 100% accurate. Having only seen a few trailers I'm not going to tell you I'm reviewing the whole film, just a few minor errors I noticed so far. According to DoD records of all who served in Vietnam average age was 22, not 18. Average age of 18 would mean half the guys who served would have been in the 9-12 year age range. Another point, 8 weeks of boot camp (down from 12 weeks) plus 4 weeks or ITR (Infantry Training Regiment) plus 4 weeks leave prior to shipment overseas equals 20 weeks. Add in the 30 days jungle training and processing thru Okinawa and you've exceeded the 20 weeks mentioned. Not by much, but the Marine Corps I was in didn't grab people from their dinner table and throw them into combat. The only people I've heard say that were sailors who saw all Marines as cannon fodder, not the well trained, disciplined troops we are. Watch: "Your First 80 Days (1966)". If the link doesn't work, google the title. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSa96KakIZw I'll grant you, as a Huey crew chief (DoD records show full time helicopter crews were 3 times more likely to be KIA than ground troops), I wasn't as eyeball to eyeball with the enemy daily, as these fine young Marines, soldiers, sailors and airmen, but when anybody says to me, "That was 50 years ago. Get over it." my standard reply is, "It may have been 50 year ago for you, it was last night for me!" I believe that holds true for every warrior from before the Roman legions to those of us in Iraq today. Well done, Bravo. Semper Fi Cpl. Pete USMC 65-69 RVN 67-69 SOG out of Khe Sanh 67-68

I survived Leukaemia 25 years ago and look back over my life and the PTSD that I didn't know I had and I am blown away by the experiences of these men! Humbling to say the least, and to think about how they were treated when they returned must meet the dictionary definition of polar extremes!

Bravo! Common Men Uncommon Valor. The tile is the best summary possible. This is an incredible documentary. The movie is factual, excellent story telling. It uniquely weaves personal stories of Marines in Bravo Company with actual footage of action on the ground and in the air during the siege. Everyone should see this movie. A friend of mine who encouraged me to purchase the DVD and watch the movie is a Marine. He wrote the following. "I have seen this movie twice (Bravo! Common Men Uncommon Valor) and it was very moving. I shook (Ken's) hand and told him thanks. As a fellow Marine, I am proud to have met Ken."

Thank you to the producers and financial backers of this documentary, so that the deeds of Bravo Company, 1/26, during the Siege of Khe Sanh in 1968 can be enshrined forever in the history of America. I am reading now that some of those interviewed have passed on, but their story, in their own words, is now on record for all time. "Thank God that such men lived." The documentary is available now on Amazon Prime, and I hope that many Americans get a chance to watch it.

The Marines of Bravo 1-26 provide horrific insight into the physical and psychological impact of war through their words and actions. The bravery of those who gave their lives and those who returned home is unquestionable. Their courage and their admission of fear was a brutal honesty that most of us never experience, much less understand. I identified with these Marines because I was located with a unit just east of Khe Sanh during the same time frame. This documentary rekindled my pride of serving our nation in the Marine Corps.
