A Great Film...A Great American Soldier.


Jeff Key is an American Hero to his very core. I loved this film. It sheds a much needed light on how wrong the Iraq war was. It also shows how fundamentally stupid the "don't ask - don't tell" rule is. He fellow Marines knew he was gay, but because he was such a great soldier, they didn't care. His depiction of how the people of Iraq were friendly towards us until we started brutalizing them is so clear and sad. Also, our refusal to leave their country after the infamous "mission accomplished" declaration by Bush. I shows how many men and women went in thinking they were going to do good, only find there were no plans or true goals to their mission. Every American concerned about the war should see this film pronto!
