Pretty good...........2007-01-05
To me, the best part of this movie is showing clips of modern SF in action and when it cuts to the team they are following around. Unfortunatly, 75% of this movie is about SF history, which I already know enough about. However, if you WANT to know about SF history, and how SF interacts with te current worl, then I recommend this to you. As far as production goes, its very well made, and not by any means "corny". Money well spent.
Not what I was expecting.......2006-08-01
The video itself wasn't bad, just wasn't what I expected. Very limited on the history, training, clandestine operations, ect. Mostly followed a Special Forces unit while they did very little. I saw a Discovery Channel show titled "Inside Navy SeALs", and I think I was expecting that quality. As stated before: Not bad, but not what I expected.
Great look at US Army special operators!.......2005-12-29
This is an up-to-date and extremely accurate look at today's US Special Forces (USSF). Rather than the typical Rambo-style portrayal of Green Berets, National Geographic has done their usual outstanding job of getting the truth in words and pictures. This is the real deal.
I am a retired US Army Special Forces officer.
excellent example of unconventional warfare .......2005-07-31
This DVD is an excellent example of unconventional warfare in action. It places U.S. Army Special Forces with their indigenous element in Afghanistan and shows extremely damning evidence of the Iraqi Government's complicity in the State sponsorship of International Terrorism under Saddam Hussein. I only wish this information had been picked up by traditional media and elaborated on more.
Previous reviews criticize the military garb, stance, and bearing of the soldiers being portrayed in the documentary. This individual is clearly unaccustomed to the unconventional warfare environment and his criticism was incredibly irrelevant. I highly recommend this video to anyone that would like a peak into the world of unconventional warfare and how the competencies of U.S. Special Forces differ from those of U.S. Navy Seals.
I liked it , good overview........2004-07-17
