you don't know anything about what was or was not found in Iraq. I worked on the JACADS project and have family members very high up in the USA military.
Did it not occur to you that WMD's do not have to be nuclear weapons but can be chemical weapons? There were WMDs in Iraq, they are now in Northern Canada (storage) it's been a while, so I think it is 'okay' to say that. It's probably public knowledge by now.
How do you think this was 'pro' USMC? It was not pro or con anything, but life 'as it is'.
Do you think it is 'respectful' to show pictures of dead soldiers? as was done during the Vietnam war? I think you do not understand much.

Well this movie was based on a true story about a Marine who gave his life for his country and his buddies as well. I loved the movie and there were points during the film where I teared up because it was very sad to watch.
I learned how a fellow brother comes home and how well he/or she is taken care of by those who serve along side us. I would love to own a copy of this movie for my collection to watch anytime.

The movie takes place over a matter of days, hours even, obviously you've never buried anyone, not a lot of growth at the time. The story, if you'd stopped being deficient of a developed character yourself and looked into it, actually happen to the LTC/Bacon character. The story is about how those he encountered REACTED to the Marine in the casket. Those who agreed and supported your OP are just as lame mentally as you are.

I wanted to love this movie, I thought for sure I would love this movie.
First off, its HBO Films for crying out loud and they rarely if ever put out a dud. Then there's all those EMMY nominations and the SAG Award for Kevin Bacon.
So I checked it out from the library and watched it tonight and all I can say is - what a major disappointment. I mean - where is the dramatic narrative? The character arc? The inciting incident? All those things we learn in screenwriting school required to make a good movie!
NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, happens in this movie. The title says it all. Kevin Bacon takes Chance home to his family. The End.
I gave it a six stars out of respect for the Marines, but it was hollow and dry and emotionally stagnant.
I would never watch it again.
the best that you can do is fall in love
