Subtle. I like that.

Wow! I'll have to start following Pat Dollard more closely.

That's gotta be the greatest trailer I've ever seen; immediately makes me want to see the movie and buy whoever is singing that song's entire catalog.

I love it!! And yes, that is the way our troops talk to one another.

I cried watching that.

I was that man once, but I am no longer that man. I LOVE, LOVE these men who stand for me, though at one time I called them brothers, now I'm just an observer. Some are more aged than I, and they actually stand for all the things I wanted to stand with, and to see that? It makes me cry, as I reminisce about who I was.

Those individuals in that preview, are EVERYTHING that we should aspire to be, and I hate myself for not being among them.

I can't do it anymore, I'm too weak now. These are not machines made of flesh for attrocity or murder, they are heralds for a dawning light of kindness, respect and decency. Just cuz they carry weapons, doesn't make them evil, like the opening scene depicts, it makes them human. They are hero's, they are all the more hero's than my grandad was, and he was a member of "the greatest generation" but these friggen TITANS of self sacrifice and national and global understanding are so underrated.

History will not judge these men that I wish I were, history will judge the press that worked so hard to minimalize (actually minimize) them. The press, so safe, and so special in their safety can HURT those heroes, and those individuals dedicated to a task will overcome the treason of the press.

The video, without sound is enough, the video with the sound, is abso-friggen-lutely perfect.

NOTE:

I served, but I never served in wartime. I hate myself for not doing so. I LOVE those people who could have been me, and I hate myself for not STILL serving so that some of those kids could have a "normal" life.

Thats why I cry like a bitch. I'm too weak now to serve, because my mind couldn't handle it. I admit. I'm too weak now. I'm too weak, and too selfish, but I know that the anti-war crowd doesn't shed a single tear for those great men, and women. not one, it's a measure of them, especially when compared to those representatives of humanity.

Correction I LOVE those people who could have been me

thats supposed to be "who I could have been"

ConfedYank: I can't thank you enough for posting this. I saw the trailed orginally at Dollard's site a couple of weeks ago, but was very pleased to see it made to You Tube. The Hannity & Colmes interview was priceless.

Wicked: Dude you have nothing to be ashamed of. You served and wore the uniform, in the place the wisdom of the Corps chose. That's more than most people and God bless you and everyone else who does it.

I watched the video, and you know what I think? Thank God the military men and women I have met are so much more intelligent, dignified, and reasonable than the troops depicted in that film trailer and the guy that made it. It's perhaps good to have raw macho guys like that on the front line, but I sure as hell hope they aren't making any decisions of consequence in Iraq.

Another note: I hate to break to it some folks, but we're fighting FOR Paris Hilton, anti-war marches in San Francisco, MTV, Jesse Jackson, Howard Dean, Star Wars, spring break in Cabo, Hollywood, plastic surgery, and Hanoi Jane. That's the culture of capitalism, the culture of freedom and self-expression, the culture the Islamic fundamentalists want to destroy. You hate all that stuff? Well Osama hates it even more.

Nate?

You are right, we are defending people like paris, but do you think only those DEFENDED are the ONLY ones who deserve recognition?

In 1943 when, Ted Williams Enlisted for the first time served the PARIS HILTON mentality? how about in '54? When the GREATEST hitter in all of baseball enlisted for the second time?

Babe Ruth would have been a second hand player, 50 years before mark mcquire, and barry bonds, had not Ted Williams not been a patriot. Ted wasn't the greatest player in Red Sox History, Ted, was the Greatest player since shoeless joe, and tye cobbe, and honas wagner, cuz Ted is the GREATEST player in the history of baseball.

I'm a WHITE SOX fan.

It's impossible to say who would have been the best. Josh Gibson could have been better than Ted Williams had they let him play.

Pat Tillman left the NFL to join the service. And he was a bonfide blue-stater, from the city down the highway from me, San Jose. Long live his memory and sacrifice.
