This film illustrates the worst part of surviving war, the memories. For many soldiers, men and women alike, returning home can be the beginning of real problems. I am reminded of my father and his brothers returning from WWII. For one of my uncles the war was never over. He survived the D-Day invasion, something akin to the first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan. For him the memories not only lingered but tortured him. He became an alcoholic as did several of my cousins, his sons. Jump ahead 60 years and place the soldiers in a different war, in a different country, the result is the same. When I saw this at the KC FilmFest, I was reminded that there are somethings about war that never change. The idealistic young men and women are not spared the emotional torment of what happened in Iraq, and especially if you are against the war you will come away with more compassion for the soldiers there trying to do what they believe or have been told is right.

The tag line from the Vietnam war film Platoon says it all. "The First Casualty of War is Innocence."

Denna film illustrerar den värsta delen av det överlevande kriget, minnena. För många soldater, både män och kvinnor, kan hemkomsten vara början på verkliga problem. Jag påminns om att min far och hans bröder återvände från andra världskriget. För en av mina farbröder var kriget aldrig över. Han överlevde D-Day-invasionen, något som liknar de första 20 minuterna av Räddande menige Ryan. För honom dröjde minnena inte bara kvar, utan torterade honom. Han blev alkoholist liksom flera av mina kusiner, hans söner. Hoppa framåt 60 år och placera soldaterna i ett annat krig, i ett annat land, blir resultatet detsamma. När jag såg detta på KC FilmFest, blev jag påmind om att det finns något om krig som aldrig förändras. De idealistiska unga männen och kvinnorna skonas inte från den känslomässiga plågan av det som hände i Irak, och särskilt om man är emot kriget kommer man att komma bort med mer medkänsla för de soldater som där försöker göra vad de tror eller har blivit tillsagda är rätt. Tagglinjen från Vietnamkrigsfilmen Pluton säger allt. "Krigets första olycka är oskyldighet." Hur skulle du beskriva känslan av denna recension? ALTERNATIV: - negativ - positiv
