Great close up infantry action with armor support.

Good movie if you like em bloody.

And best of all, I learned something.

A search of Amazon or Abe's Books turns up a great deal on Navajo Code Talkers. Here, e.g., is a book with the code:

Windtalkers has just received its first positive review! :haha: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

Cage was excellent in "Raising Arizona"! This one, not so much in my humble Ebertonian opinion.

It's more action movie (because of director) but battle scenes have some scope, some nice kit used, Stuarts, Shermans:

My Dad's uncle, long passed, was in the 2nd Marine division. He fought on Tarawa, Guadalcanal, and Saipan. He took his wound
on Saipan. People including me would often ask him what it was like. He never said a word.
