The War Tapes

Here's a film that is gaining a series of press that everyone should see. The War Tapes covers the story of three National Guardsman while on military service within Iraq. The most interesting aspect of this piece is that it is covered directly from the Guardsman's perspective. In a world with so much news media saturation, it is sometimes difficult to form opinions with so many different sources. This film potentially (and I do hope) may truly show a view from the ground perspective, which will be different from what we are use to seeing in the news.

However from the press I've read is that this film it is not for the faint of heart and is graphic. Actual scenes are shown of firefights between American Forces and Insurgents.

Regardless of what your views are on the war, I know we all have a deep found respect for those who serve their Nations. And from this perspective (my personal viewpoint), a film like this should be viewed to probably have a slight appreciation for those who serve.
