FYI, the average age of a soldier in WWII was 26 and 19 in Vietnam.
A few days before Saving Private Ryan came out, the History Channel's (I think)"Movies In Time" show reviewed the movie with two soldiers (one regular army and one Ranger) who were at the D-Day invasion. They said that the invasion scenes could not have been more realistic.
The movie people will NEVER be able to make a movie that can accurately depict war. It just can't be done. The horror of war would cause many people to walk out of the theatre. They couldn't take it.
To the many Veterans out there, thank you for the freedoms that I enjoy.
