This week end I watched the Movie “Lone Survivor”, a Average movie by all standards and it is not for the anti-American champagne and croissant crowds. I sincerely think that every American needs to see this movie. This is something the liberals / progressives of this great nation do not want Americans to understand.  Lets us see what it all about.  Mark Wahlberg, tells the story of four Navy SEALs on an ill-fated covert mission to neutralize a high-level Taliban operative who are ambushed by enemy forces in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. I read it is based on a true story and it is a movie that is obsessed with veracity. Lone Survivor has no time for that context, and no time to look at the story it’s telling from any point of view except for that of the best-equipped, most highly trained fighting men on Earth who are embroiled in the fourth year of a quagmire war with tribal people who they do not understand at all.

Berg’s screenplay doesn’t give them the chance to become real people. In a film where character development was going to be vitally important to the story, it’s rather shocking that he would skip it all together.
