"Men of Honour" was a real time story In the history of US navy , a young afro american rose to the level of the highest office that too, an amputee was really a significant achievment.
The trials and tribulations he faced during the course of his training session brought out the racial discrimination during that period (in the 60's). Each and every drill (in the diving school) he underwent showed the resilent imbedded in him.
He endured the ordeal because diving was not his business but a passion. Moreover, at the time of departing home for navy his father words kept reminding him the words were---BE BEST.
Inspite of having lost his leg his craving for diving remained undiminished. At that time he had to fight against his superiors for his reinstatement. He was well supported by onetime foe-turned-friend 'Billy Sunday' to present his case before the Navy panel.
There came a situation where the top brass of the US Navy had to accept/recognise the diver's zeal.Finally, the diver won the case . He was promoted to the post Master Chief level. It's worth watching.......
