I was perusing some of my usual haunts this morning when I saw this link up at donkeyod this morning. Its over at the HuffPo and its about a new documentary film entitled "The War Tapes" that will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month. It was made by the National Guard of New Hampshire during their stint in Iraq. The whole platoon evidently brought video camera's and filmed for an entire year..jesus christ in a thong, a whole year's worth of horror. They arrived in March of 2004, just as the shit was really starting to hit the fan insurgency-wise.
Check out the link, and see the documentary when it comes out..it can only be powerful and thought-provoking...as well as an accurate measurement of what our troops have to endure in the name of this fucked up war. Its not pro or anti war..its just a view into the horror of war. War should not be fought for meaningless reasons..it scars a whole generation that had to do our "bidding"...er..fighting.
