Captain Phillips
My wife surprised me today and came home from shopping with the Movie "Captain Phillips".
If anyone has any doubts about how strong, and competent our Navy is.
You must see this movie. Gives you a whole new DISRESPECT for Pirates.
And a renewed confidence in our SEALS.
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.

What I don't like about the movie is - it's fiction. The captain - in real life - wasn't so much a hero.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

DMP. Did you see it? I thought Hollywood overplayed most of it too. But the miliary/Navy aspects were pretty SPOT-ON. That's about all I got from it. Of course. I'm kinda partial to the Navy, and Seals since I am a Veteran, and most of my neighbors...still report for duty every day.

I haven't - because I know the real-life guy embelished or even lied.

That's what people who never watch FOX NEWS always say.
If you haven't seen the movie. Is that logical?

I saw the movie without having heard any of the alleged embellishments. It was very entertaining, and I always appreciate Tom Hanks in a role.

Of course. Guy wrote a book with mis-truths, then 'they' made a movie of it.
(shrug).
