I'd like to recommend an excellent movie about the Iraq/Afghanistan wars

[cali]

really powerful.

It's called The Messenger and it's with Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster and Emily Morton. Here's the NYT review.

1. For some reason, I have not been tempted to become entertained or educated by any of the

shows/movies coming out of this obscenity of a foreign misadventure.

After seeing most of the Vietnam War flicks, I just find the latest round bothersome to the max.

Maybe others need to see these, but I have seen enough war (real and imagined) to know that it is too real and tragic for me. The "reality" shows are bad enough - these are worse, at least to me.

2. This is an excellent piece of work on its own but its also a powerful

indictment of the disconnect that Americans have. Btw, there is no war footage at all in this movie. As such it's not a war movie.
