1. If you have NOT seen it, SEE IT
It's RIGHT ON THE MARK.

Spot friken ON.

A bit rough to watch in spots, but if you want a sense of it, there it is.

3. My satellite bill says that I pay extra for HBO.
I choose to have HBO. If the military brass and conservatives don't like HBO, then they have the option of not subscribing to it.

I really think this is beyond nervy of them and smacks of totalitarian regime censorship. Screw them and the the jackboots that they are trying to stomp on all of our rights with.

I will write HBO and tell them as a suscriber I will be very upset if they cave into these assholes.

10. Done. Thanks for the link to HBO.
I watched it last night, and while it was difficult, I felt it was important to see.

One of the things I said in my comments to HBO was that I knew they had gotten a lot of flack from people about the documentary, and in my opinion, those are the people who most need to see it.

11. Thank you...I wish we could send a copy to every war supporter.
The last victim's mom was interviewed on the Randi rhodes show last week.I'm glad this gave her some closure.

13. That would be a great idea, lady!
I heard the mom on Randi's show, and then saw her on one of the news shows. She was crying, which just tore at my heart, but she said that it did help her to see the documentary.

14. 60 minutes of television...such a huge impact on me.
My heart went out to those two soldiers who saw their buddy's face blown off....I hope they will find peace some day.

15. I think it is particularly important to hear the messages these boys are
giving...not once did We hear anything about "terrorists"...it's all about saving their buddies.My son,who has been back exactly two days now,is opening up to my family...saying the nightmares are not as bad anymore.I know that when he was in Fallujah in ...2003?-2004-his unit had to do "things".He has only alluded to still.Bless these soldiers and Marines ...when they come back-they will need a nation behind them.
