In honor of the U.S. Vets

Rating: 10/10 (19 September 1998)

This movie had more of an impact on me than any movie I have ever seen. I was pretty apathetic about going to see it at first as I thought that it would be just another war movie. I was dead-wrong. What this movie does is bring to life the realities of war, at least as far as it can for someone who never has and probably never will be there.
To the people who would wish to go to war for any reason, watch this first. To those who would dodge military service of this country, yet still call themselves Americans and reap the rewards of those who did, watch this movie and think about all of the kids who did your job for you. To those who would exercise their right to burn the American flag in protest, watch this movie and consider the price at which that right was purchased.
Although I realize that it isn't much, it is heartfelt when I say to all of the people who have ever fought in or who have lost loved ones in a war, "Thank you", from a grateful citizen.
