You couldn't let it rest, could you? You had to push it?

This is based upon a real incident. This is the real thing that happens when young men are torn from their families and sent far away to fight and die.
William Tecumseh Sherman said "War is Hell," but they really don't care back home when it is all over. The casualties that return alive are never counted, and of little concern to a nation that is back to making money.
This is the story of one group of casualties. They were so damaged that they did the unthinkable. Sean Penn gave the performance of a lifetime as Sgt. Meserve.
Michael J. Fox was outstanding as the one who couldn't live with what happened.
Also featuring John C. Reilly in his first film role, and John Leguizamo in his second.
This great film by Brian De Palma reminds us that all casualties don't arrive home in body bags.
