Talk:We Were Soldiers Once… and Young

Film Stuff should be Moved to Film entry
Thi article is 99% about the film. Film content should be moved to that page. The content on this page would make a nice 'Controversy' section, which is what is missing from the film entry. 202.82.171.186 (talk) 02:42, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

See Also section
I added a See Also section, and referenced the authors, Lz x-ray, and Mel Gibson, as he played one of the authors in the film adaptation. Crockspot 02:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The book is not just about the first battalion of the seventh cavalry, that was the movie. The book is about the first and second battalions of the seventh. The first battalion fought at LZ X-ray, the socond fought on the way to LZ Albany (though they were a cavalry unit they were ordered to march) where they were ambushed on the trail, then they fought throughout the night at Albany. I am going to make mention of the second battalions role and see what I can do about fleshing the rest out. Colin 8 17:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
