Saw this movie earlier today. For the general public this is a good introduction to PTSD and its symptoms. It also explains stop-loss and shows the problems that stop-loss can have on the veteran & his family. If you're a combat vet there's nothing here that's new and Hollywood has screwed up a LOT of the details but it's still worth seeing anyway. It's not pro-war or anti-war, it's about the soldiers.

aloha :) ray

I appreciate your opinion of the film. I don't think i've seen many films about the military that didn't screw up the details, but I'm glad this one does focus on the soldiers.

[theunknownknows]

My friend served in the Marines 1995-2001. In 2004, he had a quiet little celebration. That day ended the 3-year recall period very Marine gets. If he'd gotten a letter in that time, he'd have been annoyed, maybe upset, but not surprised.

[JustA11en]

Stop-Loss is different than inactive reserve. That is what your friend, and many soldiers, are aware of. They usually sign a 6 & 2 contract. 6 years active, and 2 inactive. Stop-Loss can extend you past any contract, or inactive reserve commitment.

[MP78213]

Being a combat vet myself, I'm leary of the movies and tv shows about the current wars. From what I can tell from the trailers, the two characters have different opinions of their service. That may be why I'm interested in seeing the movie. It doesn't seem to be all Anti-War/Bush/Policy nor Pro-War/Bush/Policy.

[JustA11en]

Agreed. Thanks for the comment. My understanding it that the focus is on the soldiers and not the war.

[NikkixKillax58]

dude, just watching the trailer makes me wanna cry.

my bro and a few of my friends are in the army. :'[

[JaleenaMercier]

[BrettJRipley]

[NikkixKillax58]

I don't know. like i'd be so proud but at the same time I couldn't stand my husband being away for so long with the posibility of getting hurt.

[phenixthecutiepie]
