Caught somewhere between too much rest and not enough… I am still awake. I read a review of “Jarhead,” a movie that I was very interested in seeing. Now I am not so sure… but then again, critics have always left much to be desired in the lines of taste. Actually, listening to the depiction of the movie I think I would like it, just on the point of there being so much about the people and not so much on the war. “Three Kings” is a great movie… wish I had it, but anyway, yes, if I want Desert Storm era fighting, that is defiantly the movie to watch, with a good story also. But from the director of “American Beauty” the message that the critic wasn’t sure was made, was PROBABLY the one that was. We take our young sons and daughters and train them to kill… to protect us... I wanted to but the world had other things in mind for me… yet we send our sons and daughters with all of their training, want, and preparedness to SIT AND WAIT… no shooting… no killing… it’s a wonder we have lasted so long. Mind you, in THIS Iraq “war” which is still more of a policing action, we have actually let our boys and girls shoot some people. Bout time… at least we have learned SOME lessons.
Anyway… I still want to see the movie… maybe with a certain someone… “oh how romantic, a war movie without a war… awww” hehehe… my brain rambles on… and on… and on…
