Watch out for this damn movie, "Jarhead".

Please be aware if you go see this movie, Jarhead. In fact instead of wasting $30 on seeing this movie, maybe save it for a soldiers care package. This movie is nothing, but one man's guilt over killing another human being in a time of war. Along with the moral debate over killing, they also follow the liberal playbook and portray the Marines as mentally disturbed. I have to tell you that I was at the airport the other day and read the last 20 pages of this book. I believe in free speech, but it seems Swofford and his Hollywood buddies don't feel the same way. Just like this idiot Riekoff with Operation Truth your opinion really doesn't count unless you've been in combat. Because I didn't make the life choices that they did I some sort of "chickenhawk". It just shows how shallow their arguments are when it comes to war. Throughout history really crappy things have happened, but if we followed their line of logic (illogic) Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt were big "chickenhawks". Between the both of them a million Americans died in combat. Another 2 million were injured. Families were dislocated and changed forever. But one could not argue with the result. When men made of lesser stuff would've settled for less, who knows how much darker this world would have been if they've faltered? That is why it was so important that we kicked Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. If Clinton was President at the time Kuwait was invaded nothing would've happened. Saddam would've been a nuclear power and had the free world under his thumb. The movie basically comes down to Swofford's opinion that nobody is worth killing in war. It's because of this flawed opinion that I believe that killing is necessary when it comes to protecting this country. They don't want to debate. Only just to silence and shame. Spend your hard earned money on something else.

THANK YOU for saying this. As an Army wife, my antenna was up anyway and I knew the deal, but you saved me $$. Well, I wouldn't have seen it but you did validate my suspicions. Hollywood just refuses to get it.

Good review!
