We Were Soldiers Once... And Young is a great book... I don't remember it having hard information on Air Mobile Warfare, but then again I read it in seventh grade. I figured that 'Air Mobile' was coined quite a bit after GW was written.
The movie was good, but IMHO not as good as Black Hawk Down, largely because it took so much from Brave Heart in terms of plot rhythm. I also really dislike the fact that for these movies, actors go to 'school' to learn to 'fight like soldiers'. It seems that they then leave and believe that they actually understand what soldiering is about, although they have hardly even completed 1/10th of Basic training. BHD is good in that the Rangers went to a course which taught them how to look and act like Rangers, but nothing more. No pretenses.
Was there any relation in the development of SF UW techniques and Che's writing?
Thank you,
Solid
