“We Were Soldiers” has that annoying sequence where, as soon as a soldier gets killed, his telegram magically appears in the taxidriver’s mail bag.

Greengrass has made documentary-level movies: “Bloody Sunday” and “United 93”.

Also, check out old BBC films “The War Game” and “Culloden”.

I think the intent there was to portray life on the home front for an Army wife.

If you think about it, there was nothing in the movie that said the telegrams arrived while the actual battle was still going on.

Did you ever see "Threads"? What a depressing movie, but it blows "The Day After" out of the water.
