I understand the feeling of wanting the movie to depict the acts of all who were involved in that horrible day. They're all heroes and they all deserve recognition.

To me because it focused on John and Will we go to see their families, and I feel we got to know them better. It made your heart ache for them and rejoice when they were pulled from that rubble. Karne's line, "We're not leaving. We're the Marines, and you our mission"...it just chokes me up.
