As bad as I feel this film was, it will always be considered special (to me) for the time spent with fellow Marines and Sailors who served as extras with me on location in 29 Palms (California).
The film clearly was trying to establish issues that needed to be overcome by the "Heroes" yet it seemed to lose focus while establishing the characters. Perhaps it was the hurried production (and low budget) that could be the blame for the lackluster result.
Regardless of how one feels about this film, it should be remembered that many events (and some actual scenes) came from the real Desert Storm along with a number of the extras who were also "Heroes" of the war.
