Amazing Iraq film...Battle for Haditha

[onourwayto2012]

I just emailed a friend about it and thought I'd just copy it and post.
God I just watched the Iraq movie I had just started when you called. "Battle for Haditha". I was just sobbing for the last half hour. Absolutely gutwrenching. Almost couldn't make it. I had thoughts like maybe we would be better off if the whole world was obliterated. God I am so thankful I never had anything to do with the military. There's gonna 1,000's and 1,000's of physically and mentally messed up soldiers from all this, not to mention the 1,000s of families living their normal life one minute and the next it's just blown to pieces both literally and figuratively. It's all shit Lisa and getting shittier.
edit: guess you say I was a little moved by it.

I have say I'm somewhat demoralized today. To think shit like in this movie happens all the time all over the place is a bit tuff to take when one has led a relatively sheltered life. Geez my beloved dog dying 5 yrs ago was about my most emotional time in who knows how long. Not only demoralized but pretty fucking wimpy too. I have no idea how I would react to any REAL shit.

An investigation of the massacre of 24 men, women and children in Haditha, Iraq allegedly shot by 4 U.S. Marines in retaliation for the death of a U.S. Marine killed by a roadside bomb. The movie follows the story of the Marines of Kilo Company, an Iraqi family, and the insurgents who plant the roadside bomb.

Good thread, onourwayto2012.
My sheepdog (born three months before me) died in March...:(
I hope you feel better soon. :o

thanks cafe. For whatever reason this movie just me really hard. Sure I've teared up no and then during a movie but I just sobbed for a half hour straight and then when it was done it's like it finally truly hit me what a fucked mess we have here. I've got some serious soul searching to do or I'm gonna be caught sitting in front of this computer with 10 or 12 beers in me when the shit hits the fan....and it's darn close. ....
p.s..... best war movie I've seen
