It’s time to admit the truth: the war in Iraq is due to oil and government contracts to private companies, not knocking down the Towers and killing so many Americans. The White House knew these terrorists were in the country and did NOTHING! They waste time and money chasing after Mexican illigals who do us no phyiscal harm, and are doing jobs most American lazy pelple will not lower themselves to do! QUIT LYING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT why we are in Iraq! We have oil resources here in American we could appropriate but for the goody two shoes who are on the side of minows, the gnats, the rats and the worms on the earth and care nothing about the people. Save the Whales, sacrifice the people! This country is being led by IDIOTS who are only interested in lining their pockets. WANT TO BE RICH? BECOME A CONGRESSMAN!

saw this movie last week. amazing film. I served in Iraq from november 03 to november 04. let me tell you, this movie. gets it. it may not be perfect. especially for someone who was in the military, in iraq. we see the errors more than anyone. but i think in looking back on it. they were purposeful errors. for one, noone drives around iraq alone. period. that is exactly how you end up dead. but show ing them drive arondin in their one humvee emphasizes the sensation of benig alone. they were alone, a special group of men seperateed from thier peers. and that small technical error shows it well.
the only sequence in the movie i didn’t like. was when james snuck out of the wire. it didn’t serve a purpose. and it made anyone in the military disconnect with the character.

personally i feel this movie needs a much bigger release. fucking IMAX for christ sake. they got so much write, it’s hard to beat em up for what they did wrong.
take it from someone who’been blown up. and also been saved by EOD guys. that first eight minutesof intense suspence? amazing. thats exactly how it is there. you know it’s going to happen. but it’s a painful strain waiting to get around to it. exactly like iraq.

only, i would have killed that shopkeeper in the beginning.

There’s a scene in this movie where a soldier pauses in the middle of an ambush to rehydrate with a Capris Sun juice box. It’s not a big detail – you’d blink and miss it – but this one image really drove it home for me. These soldiers are kids, for the most part unformed. Bigelow’s genius is in the details. I love this fucking movie.
