The main character (Marcus Luttrell) is from here in Houston and did several morning radio show interviews the week before and during the premier. One of the questions the DJs asked him was how accurate the story was based on the real life accounts. He said they were identical. Now, I did not hear this, my wife told me about it ass she heard it on the radio (on multiple stations), but I don't think she would make that up. I do know (and did hear) that Donnie Wahlberg was insistent on getting everything in the movie to as close at it was in real life.
For those that say the movie didn't follow the actual story, please specify what part and what is your source of information?
