    Based on true story and gives an insight into why Afghanistan is the "graveyard of empires".

    Soldiers? Warriors?

    Most definitely heroes ....

    Movie about the Horse Soldiers ... first strike against Taliban and Al Queda after 9/11. 12 special forces individual ride into battle on horses with local afghanistan tribe. There's a statute at ground zero commemorating their mission.


    Task Force Dagger is sent to Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks, a team that includes CIA paramilitary officers and US Army Green Berets Operational Detachment Alpha 595 (ODA 595).They join forces with General Abdul Rashid Dostum of the Northern Alliance to help conduct unconventional warfare against Taliban forces.

    Ah. Portrays the military as good guys. No wonder I haven't heard of it.

    Sounds pretty good. I can usually sit through a military movie.

    Watched DUNKIRK last night. Got kinda long, little bit boring, didn't see it as the epic work of art they're cracking it up to be.
