another take on F911

This one from ginmar, who is a soldier in Iraq.

I like it a lot.

Thanks for unwrapping your response; the opened-up (what, Firecat-cut? now I'm trying to transfer LJ jargon into real life) version clarifies things considerably.

MM would be totally with you about wanting the movie to spark discussion, whether it agreed with him or not.

As I guess I want to include in my Ginmar comment, I don't see how anyone could have expected him to portray the entire range of soldiers. It wasn't what he was trying to film in the first place. Now, a movie based on Ginmar's posts, that would come closer to portraying the soldiers' world. I would pay serious money to see that movie.

I agree Moore couldn't have portrayed the entire range. I thought what she said about the ways he got it wrong was interesting. And I would pay serious money to see a movie based on her posts, too.
