   This clip is the most realisitc war film ever produced….but the reality of the agonizing screams of boys not yet men, their mangled limbs dangling in the air,, bullets whizzing past and landing with dull penetrating thuds , all mean that war should be intolerable.

   Yet we don’t learn. The same horror is being repeated today in Afghanistan and Iraq…albeit different in scale…but not upon the impact it has on young unfinished life itself.

   I hope you aren’t saying that we should not have fought WW2 because war is abhorrent. It’s true that it is, yet some things are worth fighting for, particularly when force is required or likely to relieve suffering or for liberation as in France.

   But that’s just my opinion as a former soldier.

   Waging war in Iraq was a (deliberate) mistake. Afghanistan was not (except it was waged poorly). WW I, II and Korea were worth fighting but Vietnam was not.

   I commented upon the brutality of war . Altho I served in the military, I have morphed into a pacifist in my old age. WMD”s have made war impractable if the human race is to survive. We claim intelligence while revelling in our stupidity.

   Navy was it? I think you’ve told me before.

   I won’t hold the Navy thing against you, I was Army. :)

   And Bin Laden supporters won’t easily forget the navy seals.
