Legion of Brothers

‘Legion of Brothers’, Sundance Film Review

The story of two of the Special Forces A teams given the mandate to take the battle to the enemy, shortly after the 9/11 attack.

This is the story of Capt. Mark Nutsch’s Team 595, and Capt. Jason Amerine’s Team 574.

Nice, I was on 595 for quite awhile long before this event and would have given your left nut to have been there.....I've always wanted to be in a cavalry charge.

Finally saw it. Very moving I must say.

It shows the toll of service, and the tragic price paid when high command insert itself to tactical level.

I'm not sure the lesson has been learned.

DVD available online from Amazon. In the shameless marketing department, you can use smile.amazon.com and select Green Beret Foundation as your charity for them to throw some $ that way with your purchase. Doesn't impact your purchase price and too easy not to do.

Thanks for posting that. I didn't know that Green Beret Foundation was available as an option for smile.amazon.com. I have changed from NRA Foundation to GB Foundation.
