Movie Reviews of National Geographic: Inside Special Forces
Movie Review: Brought back memories
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this DVD along with the "Inside the Green Berets" documentary and was equally pleased with both items. Having been in SF most of my Army career of 22 years, I'm glad to see the high standards still remain. Having served during the tough decades of the 60s, 70s and 80s, it's a pleasure to see SF finally getting the recognition it justly deserves. We were definitely the "Red-Headed Stepchildren" in those tough times. That didn't keep the dirty and difficult jobs from being given to us. But, we always did them and did them well above what was expected of us.
It's good to see the Hollywood images being put to rest. What SF has done in real life is far more impressive than anything Hollywood could ever put on the silver screen. SF still seems to thrive performing the difficult missions in areas that are so removed from the scope of the conventional Army. The conditions we lived under were primitive and from the looks of the documtary, nothing has changed. The history of Special Forces was very brief. However, if it had been any longer, it would have taken away from the training and most importantly what these men are doing in the War on Terror.
I believe this was one of the better efforts on what it takes to become a member of this elite organization. It also shows what it takes to remain a member of SF. It's often overlooked that it takes a special breed of soldier to remain within the ranks of SF. We often said that when a man joined an A Team, his training was just beginning. A common expression was it took five years on a detachment before a soldier knew what a team was all about. The biggest thing for me was that a team was also a family. This documentary also touchs on that.
As being a member of the Brotherhood of Special Forces, I recommend it to those who want to get a glimpse and understanding of what it takes and means to be one of "The Quiet Professionals."
