Crain, you mention that you interpret that Eastwood/filmmakers toned down the jingoism and excised the more questionable stories from the book. This is reminding me a lot of the story with Lone Survivor, where Peter Berg tried to rein in the source material's exaggeration of Operation Red Wings done by the SEAL author.

Android Bicyclist posted:Probably because those Type A personalities are what make effective SEALs. Maybe more like special forces, although there's plenty of exceptions, like Drew Dix mentioned earlier. If you've ever seen Heart Of Darkness about Francis Ford Coppola making Apocalypse Now, there's a bit where there shooting the hotel room scene and one of the military advisers has Martin Sheen as Willard pay attention to his lips in the mirror because, according to the adviser, spec-for guys tend to have a inflated sense of vanity.
