Haven't seen it. Won't see it.
My great uncle was part of that invasion. I know all I need to about it.
After spending a year in Fallujah starting with the recapture of the town in 2004 I can't sit through some war movies anymore and maintain my composure.
I haven't and won't see Blackhawk Down for the same reasons. I understand exactly what went on because I had to write a case study right after it happened while I was an intel analyst. I don't need to see a dramatization of it.
Some of what I saw in The Departed got me wound up and I had bad dreams for a couple nights after, but not like a graphic war movie will get me upset.
I wasn't wounded like my dad and the only thing that really bothers me are two things...and it's funny in a way.
#1 Fireworks, especially the loud bright ones where you can feel the thump in your chest. I need a couple of Shiner Blondes around July 4th and New Years... don't know why it just makes me .....uneasy.
#2 Guys at the rifle range or pistol range screwing around with their weapons and generally handling them like pop guns. Pointing the barrel around and covering stuff behind the firing line....generally behaving like Billy Bad Asses.... I'm sure you've seen them. I just quietly pack up and leave ASAP.....but I get physically fearful with fast heartbeat and rapid breathing.... weird, huh.
