I thought this movie was fantastic and I don't usually like "war" movies. I'm glad I'm ignorant enough to what really goes on during wars to enjoy this without being a skeptic.

I disagree. Especially during stories where reality > fiction.

Of all the war movies you may have seen, you really think this one stands out as unrealistic?

I've been on those streets personally, and I can tell you that while his actions are certainly cowboyish, the movie as a whole wasn't unrealistic in the least
