The real story of Operation Red Wing and some true American heroes. I have read the book, but I am not sure I can make myself go watch the movie. When you know its real, its kind of hard for me to watch. Marcus Luttrell is a true Texan in every sense of the word. If you have never heard of him, I invite you to google his name and get an amazing history lesson. Anyone else have plans to go see this movie??

I definitely want to see it. Gonna look for the book this weekend. Apparently, we have another amazing hero from these parts. My wife works with a lady whose son was one of the Seal Team 6 members who took Bin Laden. But even his momma doesn't know his whereabouts half the time. She hears from him occasionally.....

Marcus actually has a small part in the movie although he does not play himself. I've made up my mind I am going to see it. Probably gonna need a box of tissues.
