Very good documentary! Went last night with my daughter and Son-in-Law (both in the Army). The producer wanted to tell the story from the grunts' perspective, and we all agreed that he did a fine job. Very salty language, as you may imagine (not for the youngsters!).

I thought the best thing about it was the way that the movie depicted the soldiers' day-in-day-out life. Neither pro- nor anti-war, but definitely pro-military. At one point, one of the grunts says (paraphrasing): "Y'all are going to see this as a movie, but for us this is life." My daughter was concerned that civilians might misinterpret the movie as anti-war, but I told her that it probably wouldn't change one's attitude - but maybe leave the theatre with a better appreciation for the sacrifices these fine young men and women are making.

Go see it!
