Usually military movies aren’t extremely factual (there’s ALWAYS added “movie” drama) but as a Marine I can say this was the closest to actually being there or being a Marine....they kept it pretty real in this one and probably left out a lot of the basic drama that’s in movies...even movies that are based on a true story usually have some of the basic “movie drama”...this one might have a little but it’s the closest to a real Marines life I’ve ever seen in a movie....SEMPER FI
