January 18, 2018
It's a story almost too incredible to believe: American Special Forces waging war in Afghanistan on horseback in the days immediately following the terrorist attack on 9/11. It's the plot of the new movie ‘12 Strong.’ Actor Chris Hemsworth plays a "horse soldier.” His character is based on retired Green Beret, Mark Nutsch, who was at the film’s premiere in New York City. These real-life heroes say they're amazed at how accurately the movie depicts their experiences in that faraway land.
