This movie is clever, funny, exciting, and of a quality rarely seen overall, let alone in animated releases marketed with youths in mind. The only reason I put 4.

The al- Qaeda terror group was being harbored by a Sunni Islamic fundamentalist political movement who was in total control of Afghanistan at the time and was enforcing strict sharia law upon the people of the Asian country. The United States and then president George W. Watch The Full Violet (2017) The Movie more. Bush needed answers, the president wanted options outside of just a limited bombing campaign.
Bush was given what was deemed “SF (Special Forces) Option 1” which encompassed Special Forces teams of the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) to infiltrate the country of Afghanistan, develop rapport with rebel groups actively fighting Taliban rule, and destroy the group responsible for attacking the United States. President Bush took that option and thus tasked the Green Berets of 5th Group into becoming the spear of the American vanguard and sent these men to off to exact vengeance in the name of the innocent American lives lost on 9/1.
Once President Bush gave his blessing, the Green Beret teams of 5th Group selected were given orders to prepare for a secret war in Afghanistan which the mission was simply stated: Overthrow the Taliban government, Disrupt al- Qaeda. This is another type of war, new in its intensity, ancient in its origin–war by guerrillas, subversives, insurgents, assassins, war by ambush instead of by combat; by infiltration, instead of aggression, seeking victory by eroding and exhausting the enemy instead of engaging him. It is a form of warfare uniquely adapted to what has been strangely called “wars of liberation,” to undermine the efforts of new and poor countries to maintain the freedom that they have finally achieved. It preys on economic unrest and ethnic conflicts. It requires in those situations where we must counter it, and these are the kinds of challenges that will be before us in the next decade if freedom is to be saved, a whole new kind of strategy, a wholly different kind of force, and therefore a new and wholly different kind of military training.” – President John F.
Kennedy. The documentary Legion of Brothers from the independent documentary producers, Gravitas Ventures, tells the true story of America’s Response to the 9/1. Green Beret legend of The Horse Soldiers of Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 5. American military unit to enter Afghanistan led by then Captain Mark Nutsch. It also tells the story of ODA 5. Captain Jason Amerine and Scott Neil along with some of his teammates from the direct action team of ODA 5. Mark Nutsch and ODA 5. Green Beret warfighters to enter Afghanistan.
Nutsch’s ODA 5. 95 was to link up with the warlord, General Abdul Rashid Dostum and his Northern Alliance who were fighting Taliban rule in and around the city of Mazar- e- Sharif in northern Afghanistan. The documentary paints a harrowing picture of what it was like for ODA 5. It also shows how this band of Green Berets built rapport with a rebel force and also became the legends known as The Horse Soldiers. The movie then goes into Amerine’s ODA 5. Tarin Kowt within the southern region of Afghanistan with the goal to seize Kandahar. ODA 5. 74 was also tasked with supporting and developing rapport with a fledgling politician attempting to oust Taliban rule, Hamid Karzai.

Only the Brave, based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots, is the heroic story of one. Only the Brave, which arrives in theaters later this year, is based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots—a group of elite firefighters tasked with.
It also deals with overzealous commanders wanting to get into the war before it was over, directly undermining ODA 5. Which led to a controversial air strike decision by two senior officers wanting to put “combat action” on their Officers Evaluation Report (OER) that instead of hitting an enemy slotted to surrender later that day, hit and killed Green Berets Master Sergeant J. D. Davis, Staff Sergeant Cody Prosser, and Sergeant First Class Dan Petithory. These Green Berets were the first U. S. The tactical and personal accounts within this documentary are reason enough to see this piece of history and therefore I will not ruin the tactical portion of this well- produced movie. Yet, one thing this documentary does that few have accomplished is provide the viewer a front row seat into the human aspect of what the warfighter experiences, both in combat and on the home front.
You see what it takes to be a married man of action and you also hear from the wives and loved ones who are a part of the lifestyle that encompasses the warfighter ethos. It also shows a rarely talked about or even acknowledged “daily grind” the men of Special Forces endure by way of a constant operational tempo, deployments, gunfights, and yes the death of teammates cobbled with the eventual transition out of the service all Special Forces soldiers will eventually have to navigate to “re- integrate” back into what is known as the civilian world. Something Scott Neil of ODA 5. SOFREP, “This film is a gritty truth of the realities of war.
Everyone has accepted the Good bad and ugly. Obviously we were young and fit. In the film you see what the effects of 1.
Those 1. 5 years have taken 3. This film has also been met with some degree of controversy and rumored animosity within the leadership of U. S. Special Operations Command, and it mainly leveled at now- Colonel Jason Amerine, “I believe the SOCOM Command as well as USASOC have come from . Jason became very vocal and was blackballed out of SF. Jason was a lightning rod for not only the bombing but most recently his job at the Hostage Working Group at the Pentagon.” said Neil.
When asked what the command may not like about the film, Neil replied, “I say it’s more a passive resistance. I’m not sure anyone is ASKING them but there hasn’t been any support. Remember – It is about the victory and the victorious wasn’t a General or Task Force Colonel. It is a story of Captains and Sergeants and some don’t like that the only time you see a flag- officer of Field Grade Officer is for the controversy – which is very true.”SOFREP contacted the Special Operations Command public affairs office for comment on the film, yet was left unanswered at the time of publication. SOFREP then reached out to a Public Affairs Officer, LTC Nathan Broshear, in regards to the documentary and the reasons why SOCOM public affairs office may have not wanted to reply to our email and he had this to say, “We’re (military PAOs) not authorized to give our opinion on films—it’s a Do.

They are living legends of Special Forces and heroes who were personally thanked by President Bush for avenging the United States for the attacks of 9/1.
Afghanistan from the rule of the Taliban. And not one of the Green Berets received anything higher than a Bronze Star. Retired Green Beret Scott Neil summed it up like this, “There is a hidden truth of the film that victory was achieved and now lost.
