“The Last Full Measure” is a true story about valor. It’s based on Vietnam War hero William H. Pitsenbarger (Jeremy Irvine), an Air Force parajumper who flew on helicopters into hot landing zones and airlifted out wounded soldiers. During the vicious Operation Abilene on April 10 in 1966, “Pits” waved off his chopper and fought alongside 60-some soldiers from the Army’s First Infantry Division, pinned down in a jungle ambush—none of whom he personally knew. He was killed by a sniper.
