Title: 13 Hours
Post by: Scout26 on June 21, 2016, 02:35:45 AM

Finally watched it tonight.


As much as I despised Hillary and Obama before, this drove it to a whole new level.

If you haven't seen it, please do.

I heard any interview with one of the guys that was there and helped with the movie.  It sounded like it would be outstanding.  I need to buy a copy.

Excellent film. I knew I would like it from previous reviews here, so I had pre-ordered the DVD on Amazon. It was delivered and I just watched it a couple of weeks ago, and everyone here was right. Both on how great it was, and on the Benghazi blood pressure front.

Is it possible for me to despise HRC and BHO more?  Not sure about that.

Watch the movie and report back.

Saw this in theaters.  Great movie.  Weaponsman described it as a worth successor to "Blackhawk Down" and I fully agree.  Also has a nice dash of humor thrown in too.  Would have completely enjoyed it if the old, deaf veteran behind me would have killed the running commentary...

Saw Lone Survivor in the theater and that one really pissed me off. Then saw 13 Hours in the theater and now I get ... well we'll just leave it alone. It was everything I could do not to scream profanities during Lone Survivor when they didn't at least tie up the perimeter patrol because of how they would be portrayed on CNN. The whole damn movie 13 hours was like that. I go from burning hatred for libtards to wanting to cry.

It seems that the recent war flicks are usually about operations that went sideways.

Black Hawk Down
Lone Survivor
13 Hours

Zero Dark Thirty would be the exception, and even that one had its share of clusterf*** moments.

I think the take away is why they went south.

Bought it today and watched it tonight. Pretty intense. I'd read reviews in Rolling Stone and other lib sites and was expecting a political hit piece. There was almost no politics at all.

Incredible what those guys went through.

True, but they were contractors, which in the eyes of the lib press makes them lower than dirt.
