"Extremely aggravating self hatred and introspection (constant) by sad sack Michael Ware."

The above is NOT my title. It is the title of a recent review written by IMBD member youtubemegafan. I posted more info below:

THE FOLLOWING IS youtubemeganfan's REVIEW. I COULD NOT SAY IT BETTER THAN HE DID SO I JUST COPY AND PASTED EXACTLY WHAT HE WROTE:

"I watched this on hbo at a hotel yesterday (would never give a penny to hbo). First the positive: the footage of Our Shooters is excellent, I credit Ware for just getting it, for showing up.

He/they was/were constantly pointing the camera at soldiers faces, even when bullets were flying, and then edited in the sorriest, most depressing music one can possibly imagine. The singular most aggravating part of the film, I just have to go straight to it: the scenes were some little Sunni monster was running, bolting through the desert rat ghetto with an AK and 2 spare mags in his black pajama bottoms (like Vietnam redux) trying to maneuver, encircle, murder Our Men.

They eventually located him w/ a head wound in the weeds. Dragged him to a safe location. Here, Ware agonized over his own low EQ (emotional quotient) and wondered aloud if he was generally a very bad man, or if our soldiers were extremely naughty, namely for not rendering "the medical aid they were required to perform" on a brain dead terrorist that just tried to kill them, whose brains were leaking out of it's skull.

Ware literally sat there in silence, recording every second it took the terrorist to expire, with a few pans to the soldiers when they said something which was generally hoping it would expire so it wouldn't live another day to kill again. Meanwhile Ware is stroking out over the reality taking place, that is every war, as if to have a nervous breakdown.

Allowing these liberal scumbags to film our shooters was the worst decision the military ever made. It wasn't the first, and probably won't be the last the way things are going. Ware made the going maddening, but I couldn't take my eyes off it for a second...

There were many similar documentaries to this, with the same style..I remember one with the photojournalist actually asking an emotionally perplexed soldier how he felt about what he was doing, with pregnant pauses by photog to make soldier feel as uncomfortable as possible- that soldier later overdosed. He was from Vancouver, WA. I believe that journalist was a key factor in this soldier's suicide: he exacerbated soldier's PTSD which you could see in the documentary.

Why don't these "journalists" just preface all of them with "disturbing new documentary", we know what's coming...nothing positive in their minds."

The preceding was a review by youtubemeganfan. I rarely use other's words instead of my own. but in this case he summed up how I felt far better than I could have put it in words.
