This afternoon I went with my family to see "Battle: Los Angeles." It was very good the entire movie is intense. Throughout the movie I was able to see the Marine Corps traditions and creed portrayed in the movie. For example, there is one scene where a little boy's father dies. Of course, the little boy, Hector, was afraid, but the commanding non-commissioned officer told him that he needs to be his little Marine. He needed him to be his little Marine because they still had things to do and Marines never quit. Also, Marines are really big on no man left behind. When they get ambushed and one Marine gets blinded and runs another way then the squad. Three Marines go back to retrieve their lost brother. Also, toward the end the Staff Sergeant tells the pilot to hover at 40 feet so he can rappel down and recon an area. He told a Corporal he was in charge, in other words he was prepared to go in alone. When he lands on the ground more rappel rope falls from the helicopter, the other Marines followed him. They were not going to let him go alone. They end up defeating this alien command center that allows the rest of the military to efficiently attack the enemy. The commanding officer at the operating base says great job now eat and rest. The staff sergeant replies, we already ate breakfast sir, and after getting more ammo they hop in another helicopter to continue the fight. Overall, it really is a great film.
