We Were Soldiers Deleted Scene - Back From Battle (2002) - Mel Gibson War Movie HD

The story of the first major battle of the American phase of the Vietnam War and the soldiers on both sides that fought it.

My Husband Robert G Miller was there!
Radio Operator for Colonel Moore for the rest of the time that he was stationed in Vietnam. During this film he was assigned to the Mortar platoon. I know he watched the film and said it was very accurate with some liberties taken with a few things. But the one thing he did say was that Colonel Moore, and
his sergeant. The helicopter pilot and many other people portrayed were very accurate.
My husband passed away this year, with A bronze star and a Purple Heart. Rest in peace.

I heard somewhere that Col. Hal Moore felt so guilty for the lives he lost under his command. That he visited every single one of their graves. Until the day he was laid to rest. Col. Moore was the pure definition of a leader, the love and admiration he had for his men. Is in my opinion how all leaders should aim to replicate.

Most people won't recognize how emotional that scene was but veterans from any war will. That scene should've stayed in the movie.

My dad was in the 1st Calvary in Vietnam. Same Patch that was worn in this movie. He was wounded in The A Shau Valley "Ashua Valley" on November 11th, 1968. My Dad came home but his mind is still there in Vietnam. He suffers from PTSD and has flashbacks. He also has "Agent Orange". I am very honored and proud of our Men and Women that served and fought for our County. ALL GAVE SOME BUT SOME GAVE ALL! My Dad has NEVER been able to tell me what he went through there. It breaks my heart to see him suffer mentally the way he does at times! The only thing my Dad has ever been able to tell me that out of his original platoon the only survivors when he left after getting wounded was him, the helicopter pilot and his commanding Officer. My Dad was Awarded a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, and A Marksman Award.

The acknowledgement Joe Galloway received in this scene from CSM Plumley must have meant more than newspaper accolades ever could. The CSM gesturing to Galloway to fall in with the Batallion for the march out of the area was high praise from someone who didn’t praise lightly. Galloway earned his place among those fighting men.

[ArtGBralick]

One of the best of Mel Gibson's movies and arguably one of the best war movies ever made.

They should have left that scene in the movie. I served with the Marines in Vietnam and one thing I did learn is that no matter what branch of service you were in ...we all served under the same flag.

I'm 74 years old, staring at the landscaping at the end of the circle of life. I keep playing and re-playing this deleted scene, always with tears in my eyes. A march of returning warriors, forever hardened and molded by standing side-by-side with, and for, each other in fierce battle...and into eternity be a true Band of Brothers. Heroes all. My words do not suffice, but I will forever be thankful to you...and I will forever salute you.

This scene should not have been deleted. It's an important scene.

[namgreenberet]

I can watch WW 2 movies all day long but I can't handle watching Nam movies. That may sound strange to some and even I can't fully explain it. It's extremely rare for me to watch one but I did watch this one with a great friend and Nam brother and we both cried. God bless Mel Gibson for honoring us.

One of the greatest victory parades in history. No bands, no flags, just guts.

RIP Joe Galloway, who passed away today, 19 AUG 2021. Till Fiddler's Green, 'pard.

[scottross]

They should have left this in the movie....to have Plumley say “you earned it” would have meant more than a Medal of Honor

[natskivna]

The strength, professionalism and dignity shown in this scene is humbling . God bless our combat vets.

[craigsmith]

The 7th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division at An Khe was my unit. Remember this was only one battle, we fought many, lost many good friends. Garry Owen forever!

[Bigmark]

This Soldier kept his promise to his troops by saying he'd be the first man to step foot onto the battlefield and be the last to step off. He got that from being a paratrooper!!! My pops did 3 tours in Vietnam with the 101st & 82nd Airborne

[philipcifarelli]

My father was a doctor in the Army. Medical Corps. He got to Vietnam in mid 1966, about 7 months after this battle. This was still early in America's involvement and he told me that this battle, particularly how/where the wounded were treated was still a big topic of discussion in the Army. Particularly, the lack of close evacuation locations to quickly treat the wounded in this area operations where this battle took place. The wounded were evacuated to locations too far, even by helicopter, and tragically some died due to untimely emergency treatment. Thereafter, he helped set up the 67th Evac Hospital and was the Chief of Medicine there. At the time it was to be the American evacuation hospital closest to the Ia Drang Valley and thus positioned to treat American wounded within 15 minutes from the battlefield field in this area of operations. Consequently, the survival rate for American wounded men in this area went way up.

He told me that this film did a great job capturing the seriousness and urgency of the American military involvement in Vietnam during that time in that region.

The fact that Sam Elliot didn't win an Oscar for this movie is a travesty.

This movie was one of the roughest for me to go through emotionally, and it continues to be a challenge now many years after watching it twice. I was Military, but not combat. At some place in my soul, I feel their gruesome pain and loss. I had friends who served in 'Nam, and we never talked about it. Their choice. I respected that. This is one of the finest films Mel Gibson ever produced.

[davehill]

Being a Nam veteran myself, I could almost feel me being right there with Moore and his men. I also served in the 1st Air Cav in 1967 but thankfully I didn't have to go through what those men did.
