Seeing it Thursday, knowing how difficult it will be to watch. But so much talent involved and authenticity to the story.

I will probably see this film in theaters, but I am terrified of how badly it's gonna trigger me as a combat vet from the same time period/place.

Important message by Mendoza that applies to NOW: "I wanted to show how deep, when trying to function in a concussive state, what it takes to come back from that. And it takes a lot of teamwork... But...you have extended periods where people are out of it..."

What's happening now? We feel dazed--- Why? Our own IED blasts,--Our national sales tax (steep tariffs) imposed without a vote, going after so many former allies, yet coddling the Russians. Usually countries do not go into recession all at the same time. What if they do? A global DEPRESSION? Usually it's not global, so there is teamwork--the ones staying okay help bring up the ones not okay, Yet, it's teamwork that can't happen if EVERYBODY is brought to their knees by "the whims of one"?
