So sad

I feel so bad for all the soldiers taken out to Iraq for a pipe dream, under such a false pretense.

It's such a sad state of affairs and the damage done to those the government are using for their own ends is simply unjustifiable. Seeing how these three soldiers have changed, I pity them and feel sorrow for their families.

They went out believing that they were protecting their country from the evils of terror and tyranny and now they see what they were really out there for.

Such a shame that these men's lives were ruined in the process. I hope they get a big fat cheque from this film.

In ancient times, soldiers would at least be paid a chunk of the spoils of war. But now all the spoils go to big companies like Halliburton.

I feel before we can be sad for these men we must know their motivation.I know
many of them feel it is their job to go and do what our wonderful country deems
is the best for all of us and them.I have empathy.....not sadness for them.... as I also ate sand,dirt and mud and had rain as sauce for my meals.
