5.0 out of 5 stars
He gave his last full measure
As a retired Army Major and adjunct history prof. I love war movies. I find few war movies that are really good at depicting the challenges leaders face in making decisions in combat. "Sands of Iwo Jima" is one of the best at depicting good leadership traits and I recommend it wholeheartedly. I always liked John Wayne in war movies more than in westerns...

Flying Tigers/ Sand of Iwo Jima
The tape only had Flying Tigers and did not include Sands of Iwo Jima. Returned and had to reorder from another source which was received in good shape.

This review is from: Flying Tigers/The Sands of Iwo Jima (DVD)

I always liked John Wayne in war movies more than in westerns. In "The Sands of Iwo Jima the "Duke" plays the hard as nails uncompromising Sgt. Stryker. He is tasked with training a Marine rifle squad before they invade Iwo. Needless to say he is unpopular with the men, but in the end he makes a fighting unit out of them and earns their respect. One of the few movies that the "Duke" dies in. Makes one just want to cry. A classic war movie that should be viewed by all who like the genre.
