War Documentary.

Highly recommend. I didn't think it was political but very powerful.

FOX News has been pumping this so I'm sure it's all propaganda. Sebastian Junger? What's this guys deal? Is he a media mouth piece?

Well i went and saw it when it was in theaters and when I walked out, I didn't feel like I watched a propaganda piece. I felt like I watched a war. I am curious how others view it. FWIW, I oppose the War in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of course its one side of the War obviously but as long as you recognize that going in, I think its very educational. I even enjoyed Junger's book War. If you have an Ipad, the enhanced version on itunes is pretty cool but a little bit pricey.

Junger is apparently your standard war correspondent type. I think he was in Liberia prior to this conflict but I don't know much about him. BTW do you find it ironic that you are denigrating FOX news but yet have praise for Andrew Napolitano in your signature. Who does he work for again? :o

No. What party does Ron Paul belong to? I consider AndrNap a Liberty infiltrator. This is how we should be attacking the mainstream. The progressive, pro money printing, pro socialist, pro war scumbags have a history of infiltrating every other movement and we should give it back to them. If I was running for office and I lived in a heavily liberal area I would run as a Democrat. Same as in a NeoCon area with the Republicans. Fuck um. I don't care about the parties or the media anymore and think we should take them on their own turf just for the humiliation factor. In fact you inspired me to update my sig. Thnx.

This film is absolutly wild. It's hands down the best documentary of its kind, no propaganda about it. I absolutley recommend it.

Also recommend Armadillo about A Danish FOB in Helmand.

I saw it too. Was excellent, no propaganda, nothing pro/anti war. Were no military brass, just soldiers doing a job.
