The documentary film has been stunning and I'm left wondering if I saw those images as a young teenager?     Can you imagine how much differently the Gulf wars would have affected the American consciousness if we had such film today.   Film of the enemy incinerated or vaporized in front of news reporters.  Showing the wounds of soldiers, the grief of children, the horrors of rape and torture in a war zone, can you imagine?   Now death is directed from a source the enemy can never see nor fight.  Clean?  It depends on your perspective.    

War is a horror that destroys body, mind and soul no matter what the justification.   If one is going to chose to fight a war, the cost should be fully understood.
