Gunner Palace.

As inspired by my good man Russ, I figured I would give my two cents from my most recent venture to the theatre.
Gunner Palace, a documentary filmed last year in Iraq, is a brilliant, informative, humorous, and above all, real. Really, it's the perfect sort of thing for me to see. I'm mostly uninformed about politics and the like, but this was a great way for me to see what's happening across seas. I hate politics. The lies, the flip-flopping, everything about it. However, I don't like the iron curtain that people who decide what the public do and don't need to know hides what those who are actually going through are, well, going through! Politicos suck.
Anyways, that was a bit of a side note. So, this movie shows the war from the perspective of actual soldiers. Their daily rounds and common happenings. It lets you see what those who are carrying out orders feel about all that goes on around them. You see the personalities that are fighting this war.
I'm not any sort of high degree of patriotic, so I'm quite apathetic on voting (any vote is basically the lesser of two evils for me). One thing that had crossed my mind was to let those that actually get things done do the voting. What the frick do average citizens have to say? Opinions? Pet peeves? Soldiers are the ones fighting, dying and, at times, being psychologically or physically ruined. They are the only ones I see who actually put up (so the rest of us should shut up). I wouldn't voluntarily sign up for the military or anything, but I would go to war if necessary. Tangented...
Great movie, most - if not all - of the soundtrack is music as performed by one of the soldiers in Gunner (who is also quite funny).

So go check it out. If you're like me, it rocks. If you have some sort of strict politial view, I don't care, make your own opinion of it.
