    Thumbs up Six Days: new film about Iranian Embassy Siege

    Several films are on my "go to the theater to see" list so far this year, this is one of them.

    I'm in. That is one of the events covered in SOF that convinced me that one day I must have a MP5.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Right number of days but WRONG CRISIS, wrong country, wrong embassy.

    Iranian seized US Embassy in Tehran. Jimmy Carter sent Delta Force to rescue but aborted at Desert One.

    Iranian seized Iranians seized Iranian embassy in London. SAS freed hostages and killed the hostage takers. Siege lasted 6 days, therefore the name of the movie.

    I just watched an hour long you tube documentary about Operation Nimrod. It featured John McAleese, LtCol. Rose, who I believe are now both dead. I hope this movie is good to honor those SAS members who participated.
