Very cool little film. The only thing that annoyed me though was how the author of the movie was a total squeaker but tried to speak in a manly low voice, failing miserably.

Awesome stuff.
Fear? You bet your life...but that all leaves you as you reach combat. Then there's a sense of great excitement, a thrill you can't duplicate anywhere...it's actually fun. Yes, I think it is the most exciting fun in the world. — Lt. Col. Robert B. "Westy" Westbrook, USAAF 6/<--lol@mod
