It doesn't look to be as gut wrenching as Taking Chance, but still might be good.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I am confused, how is it a sequel to The Last Detail? I guess I need to read up on it.

eta: A spiritual sequel. Now I understand.... not really but maybe because I deal too much in black and white.  =|

Well, the book it was based on was by the same author, and this book was written later, so ==> it's a sequel.

I thought Laurence Fishbourne was killed in Vietnam on some sort of secret mission.

I'm going to guess that gets addressed in the movie.

Also, false. =D
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Maybe some would.

Personally if I were to put on my dress blues or choker whites I would be meeting all of the current grooming standards. In fact that may actually be in the USN Uniform Regs somewhere.

Re: Taking Chance, I agree mightily.  Watched that in a hotel on a bit of a lark, and I don't know how anybody could watch that without copious waterworks.  Highly recommended nonetheless.
