Last Scene of Last Episode? **May contain spoilers**

Just finished watching the GK mini series on my pay tv service. Loved the show. I loved the tempo and the situations these Marines often found themselves in. The sometimes silly orders and internal politics of the regiments and the personalities between the characters.

I am intrigued however by the last scene of the last episode. With the making of the mini-movie by one of the Marines and as they all gather around to watch it slowly one by one start to leave before it is finished. The only person left standing watching this mini-movie is the trigger happy Trombley (Whopper Junior). This home made movie scene put together is of pretty horrid scenes - as i guess there is not a great deal of "happiness" to be captured in an environment like this. But what was the significance within the show when each of these characters begin to peel away from viewing this short documentary of their time in Iraq?

Was it just because they are sick of the carnage? And that because they are living it they don't need to see it replayed back to them? Was it because the condensation of the horror in the movie was just too confrontational for them because it was a realisation of some of the atrocities they have committed on both civilians and military Iraqi's? Was it a silent protest at the injustices of war? It was also interesting that as each character left no one really said anything as to why they left.

And because of the carnage being shown on the movie - Trombley seemingly was attracted to the movie and couldn't tear himself away from the gore and horror of what was being shown.

I'd be interested in your thoughts on this.

Thank You
