Did you see it?

I did.

It was entertaining. Not a top ten war movie, or even one of the best war movies made in the last few years, but entertaining.

I also read this, written by a veteran of the war in Afghanistan. This stood out:

We need a fictional movie with a plot, with a narrative, that isn't afraid to acknowledge certain truths about war: namely, that there are no heroes. There are no good guys. Killing doesn't lead to epiphany or to personal truth, save as a horrified revelation of human guilt. The people who thrive at war accept some of war's hatred inside them. This does not make American soldiers or the Muslim fighters we call terrorists heroes or monsters—it makes them human.

Interesting.  What branch of the service were you in?  

I wonder what it will win in the Oscars.  Tough competition.  I'm not gonna get pissy or go conspiracy if it doesn't win a big one.  Selma is going to get something.  Plusewise that tank movie and the guy that broke the Nazi code.  It was as pretty good year for movies. I'm gonna watch the oscars this year. 

I started watching it then I fell asleep.  Best oscars eVar!
