Earlier I wrote
something that an actor in the movie that I had mentioned "the Army turns you on as a killer, how can you be turned
off as you’re back here? “however, to be precise this is something you
can hear very clearly in this movie, the kill team that-s about our youth
trying to find something to do to give a reason for spending a very long time
in a land that hasn’t seen a day without violence, combat or aggression.
I truly intend to
watch again this movie with my Brent; I had imagined that he still had
attraction to join the Army, but few days ago we had a serious talk about this
and now I’m very relieved to know that this was just a fad he used to have when
much younger that’s now forever gone, no matter the pay.
What I put in this
post - aside from the Youtube trailer of
the movie – are few links of articles written about this real tragedy of our
youth finding the reason to be there, that’s about criminal. What I like the
most is that the viewers are told that this is a true story and at the end of
the movie (also
called documentary) the penalties (time in jail) for each of the soldiers show on the screen
like it's normal, for criminals.
My only comment is
simply that’s wrong to train young people to kill everyone they see in
combat zone and then expect for them to return to the civilization of our
country like nothing ever happened.
One of the links I
put below hopefully plays the entire movie that I strongly recommend to watch
with good people who can make some constructive comments about it.
