**SPOILER ALERT**
I saw the movie yesterday. Even though we know how the story ends I didn't think it was all that good. Ignoring the recurring gaffs in military movies with the dialogue, it still came off as a story about complacency meets shit on fan blades. During the attack the commander was nowhere to be found..at least not on screen. I thought that was odd.

Troop Commander had left the COP to go to the OP overwatching the COP. The aircraft he was on was hit and had to RTB, he eventually fought his was back there with the QRF. Probably omitted in the movie. https://mwi.usma.edu/podcast-spear-battle-cop-keating/

LTC Jason Mackay - They did include that the previous commander died. The QRF just kind of shows up on the mountain top at the end. You don't happen to have a link of the podcast do you? It would be nice if they were on Joe Rogan or Jocko's podcast.

SSG (Join to see) - Brad Pitt did a hell of a job as a tank commander. I called my Tank Commanders Tank Gods because they were aggressive and tactically sound. The tank is home. The depiction of Shermans against Panthers was correct. Our Shermans were woefully under gunned and armored.
