Featured review
From The Halls of Montezuma's Revenge to the Shores of Triple Cheese
Unrealistic cheesy film, but as a former Marine who was once stationed at Camp Pendleton, I enjoyed seeing it along with the real archival combat footage dubbed in this movie. Unmentioned is the short life expectancy of USMC combat photographers. My father led a 14-man USMC combat photography squad in WW II through Saipan, Guam, and Okinawa. They were all KIA except for my father who was WIA on Okinawa having been shot through his shoulder and sent to a field hospital. I wonder if he ever saw this movie but I doubt it; he tried to forget his wartime memories. Because of his experience, when I announced on my 17th birthday that I was joining the Marines, my father exclaimed "congratulations son! You're joining the world's largest suicide squad!" I still have his Purple Heart medal, the only thing he kept after 4 years in the Corps.
