    For some reason I like war movies. The movie was created and actually reflected what it would have looked like if you were there. For instance, the color in th emovie.

    Not often do I like war movies, despite my father being a huge war fan, but this was a great story with a huge cast.

    oneround, if u knew anything bout the army, u would know that sargents have more experience and the bipod legs were often left on the wpn so that if the wpn needed to be used in a static defensive position it could

    well the Army would'nt assine an mission like this to a Sgt. it wouled be more reasonable to to use a cpt because of experience he has on the battal field but then again u could send a NCO that has a lot of combat time to but u also have to take into consideration thta a lot of Soldiers were killed of missing and the Army would be lookin for a easy and logical person to take the men he needed and a erson with a lot of expierence thta would be able to think of things to do under extreem circumstances

    Game, since this was a PR mission, it is feasable that a Cpt. would be sent out. Now if you really want to get picky, from a veterans point of view, get down on the true innacuracies. Walking in enemy territorry talking loud like they were doing will get you dead real quick. Why are all the automatic weapons carriers not using their bipods? I wouldnt want them covering me, likely miss the enemy and shoot me in the back!. And this jive walking around on top of ridges, making themselves perfect targets for the enemy?, and those are just a few things I noticed. They must have either ignored or had a lousy technical advisor for this one. Spielbeg just wanted to make a war flick. The cowardly individual and Spielberg saying he could relate to this character pretty much sums up the contempt I have for the political line he took in this film, and kissing butt to the ww2 generation to sell this movie is contemptable, they deserve better. Band of Brothers was better...

    I agree with the last poster that this was hanks best role. after watching saving private ryan I thought of my father and how he never spoke of the war and only one time he did it was just to say when he got home there were hardly any "men left". Band of Brothers(the hbo show) was awesome, it showed of will and fortitude these young men had. I dont know if there will ever be another generation like the ww2 generation. thank god for them, their all gone..

    A Captain (Hanks) would never be sent on a mission commanding only 7 Soldiers. Captains usually command a Company, which most of the time consists of 2 Platoons. A Staff Sergeant is the perfect Commanding Officer for a 8-Men Mission. Also, one of the Soldiers in the group (Sizemore) is a Segeant First Class, They normally are Senior Assistant Officer's for a Platoon's Commading Liutenant. Sorry Spielberg, But Captains are way too high in rank for this type of mission and a Sergeant First Class wouldnt be assigned as Assistant in this situation.
