THE KILL TEAM



The last one of the very many movies I watched (being always alone with nothing ever to do or think to do) is the movie entitled "The Kill Team "that to me represent the cost - beyond that of young Americans' lives - of a war that's been proven having no reason, nor sense at all.
I put here just the trailer to this movie, but there are plenty parts in it that really show how nonsensical and almost suicidal it's to be in this war and to go to fight maybe thinking that the American ethics and principles are being defended from some type of aggression or even from anarchy.
One part that's now engraved in my (broken) mind is when one murderer (a US soldier) asks "why the hell they are all taught for months how to become real killing machines and given very advanced lethal tools=guns when to be able to kill any of those uncivilized killers of Americans one must go through the entire ladder of command, almost to our president to have official authorization to pull the trigger on one of those "savages".
I've been hoping to have my beloved son Brent be here for at least a couple of hours to watch it with me because - given his passion (directly from me)  for using guns - I fear that sometime in a near future he might decide to bring our stars and stripes flag in this war by himself and nobody will be able to convince him  stay here in safety and sanity.
The other point made by this movie is that there exists a true jungle of laws and directives that can easily be used to turn a straight murder in an act of self-defense, in fact one of these murderers says in an interview that any gun ever found on the ground is best taken, because it can be put near the killed savage to prove that the murder was done just for self-defense, anyway my vote to this movie is a 10, so watch it instead of drinking a beer with your friends, after having watched it you are going to look at our presence in that region with completely different eyes......
