I wasn't there, nor do I pretend to know how it really happened, but after reading the book by Galloway and the Colonel, I am glad there was a movie made about our brave soldiers in Vietnam. I am tired of seeing movie after movie bashing our soldiers in Vietnam. This movie also gives the prespective of the Vietnamese soldiers and leadership...

Good movie and recommended to anyone

Based on the book by Lt. Col. Harold Moore (ret.) and journalist Joseph Galloway, We Were Soldiers offers a dignified reminder that the Vietnam War yielded its own crop of American heroes. Departing from Hollywood's typically cynical treatment of the war, writer-director Randall Wallace focuses on the first engagement of American soldiers with the North Vietnamese enemy in November 1965. Moore (played with colorful nuance by Mel Gibson) and nearly 400 inexperienced troopers from the U.S. Air Cavalry were surrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese Army soldiers, and the film re-creates this brutal firefight with graphic authenticity, while telling the parallel story of grieving army wives back home. While UPI reporter Galloway (Barry Pepper) risks his life to chronicle the battle, Wallace offers a balanced (though somewhat fictionalized) perspective while eliciting laudable performances from an excellent cast. Like the best World War II dramas of the 1940s, We Were Soldiers pays tribute to brave men while avoiding the pitfalls of propaganda. --Jeff Shannon

awesome movie - luisaran - Ocala, Florida
we were soldiers is my all time favorite movie.
Mel Gibson plays a true caring yet strong Leader who has learned that He will not ask any of his soldiers to do something he would not do'
my favorite quote of the movie is when he says

" I will be the first to land on the island and the last to leave, and no one, dead or alive, will be left behind"

My personal review - Humberto Luis Dotto - Brazil
One the top 5 best movies about Vietnam war ever made.
Realistic, fantastic images and fantastic actors and actrisses.
