The quest for Matt Damon’s Private Ryan so that he may be brought home alive to his grieving mother never really happened.
However, the taking of Omaha Beach included British and Canadian forces as well as free French.
They risked their lives just as much, it would have been nice to show them a little on-screen consideration.
The invasion of France was one of the largest military action’s ever undertaken, but if you were to base your knowledge on what happened in the movie Saving Private Ryan, you’d think that the US was the only nation involved.
