The movie really loses a lot of its impact if you have read the book first because of just how many things are changed from the book which is based on facts to the movie. The movie's plot's direction seems motivated more by some kind of John Wayne The Green Berets like take on the military and their role in global affairs as well as a simplistic view of life in Afghanistan.
