  • WWII Navy SeALs

    If you have an interest in the Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) from WWII this movie is a little gem. The UDT was the precursor to todays Navy SeALs. BUD/S, the school SeALs go through to become SeALs, stands for Basic Underwater Demolition (slash) SeAL school and was the school both UDT and SeALs went through before the early 90's where the SeALs absorbed the UDT. But the term Frogmen/UDT is yesterdays name for todays Navy SeALs...So if you want to see WWII SeALs it's a cool movie. Though a bit short and could have used more character development. But it's a 50's WWII movie...This kind of movie would be awesome today if a Steven Spielberg type could re-make it..!!!
