: : : One of my biggest complaints about "SPR" was when these guys were moving deep behind unsecured lines, & they were going on (loudly)about Hank's background (etc)...I know that when I was in the Army, on recon (even in manouvers) my squad commander would've chewed me out big time for that.

: ~ I personally feel this was one of those once in a lifetime films... I dont know how they could ever hope to top it, without making the horror of it so absolutely vulgar & repulsive you couldnt stand to watch...
