Hi Hondo, I see your point but, they can still convey the essense of war without the gore and the cursing. I know that to be more realistic that the gore and cussing would have to be shown but, I still get the message when I watch older war movies that do not show much or any gore. You hear an machinegun burst and you see a soldier or two fall down and you realize that they got hit by bullets from that burst of fire. I don't need to hear a burst and then see someone's chest explode with a dozen spurts of blood to know that they got hit by said burst.

Hi IHW, I agree with you. Although I love most war movies, I did not think SPR was really that big of a deal. I will take The Longest Day over SPR anytime anywhere and not just cause The Duke was in it though having him in it to beat SPR would not be necessary but I am greatful he was in it. (Sorry, longwinded today) ;-))

Hi Emmanuel, One of the first memories I had in watching movies when I was just out of wearing diapers was that I remember watching The Green Berets. It was also one of the first movies I watched when I was allowed to stay up late on a friday or saturday night.
I love the dramatic music (originally recorded by SSgt Barry Sadler.

It's a pretty good movie. I first saw it about 10 or so years ago. Also, I have always been a Charlton Heston fan.
