"As I have not seen it I cannot further comment on it, but I suppose the commando is seen as an exemplar of sisu,"
I saw it last year. It's not a Hellywood slick production and the story was probably written in crayon - albeit by an old school Marine. It is gory, and over-the-top violent. As cinematic art, I hated it. As a story, I found it incredible. That said, I loved the message - which I think was the main point - and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who needs to see that message described.
Great research. That picture of a Boy Scout or whatever they call them now is heart breaking. As a former Scout, I never dreamed they would end up like this!

Thanks for the input on it!
