this movie was okay

Rating: 5/10 (12 February 2005)

--first, I would like to comment on the above comment. just to clarify Americans are NOT the only ones to use the term "marines". it is historically used to describe soldiers that serve on the ships in the navy. this is used to distinguish between the sailors and the fights aboard the ship. they were called "marine sailors" that was then shortened to marines. and i would like to point out that this term began in Britain not America. So please do not complain about simple terminology that has been used for hundreds of years. (And is still used by most countries that have a working Navy).
--Second, this movie was meant to show that workings of the military legal system. While the situation is deplorable, it is unreasonable to blame a soldier for preforming as he was trained, to protect his company of men while defending his country. I am not in anyway condoning the actions of the main character but i won't deny that things like that happen and we as a society need to try and change so that they don't. the answer is not to complain about a truthful of the situation.
