" "This isn't just any island to them. This isn't Tarawa, Guam, Tinian, or Saipan. This is Japanese soil, sacred ground. Twelve thousand Japanese defenders in eight square miles, they will not leave politely, gentlemen! It's up to us to convince them."

" The twin film to Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima and it's definitely the lesser film out of them. Flags of Our Fathers simply lacked the emotional power to truly resonate with me. "
