This movie so gets it. Gary Sinise—a name every military person respects—put his name on it as executive producer. A filmmaker brother in Decatur, Illinois, embeds with his two brother’s units in Iraq—US military at work from a brother’s-eye-view. One brother graduated top of his West Point class. The other is an Army Sniper. I screened it with almost every branch of the military. They said it too: “I can’t believe he got that. That’s exactly right and no one else is showing that.” Check out www.brothersatwarmovie.com It opens March 13 in five cities near bases: LeJeune, Bragg, Benning—and Chicago and DC. Two weeks later it rolls out nationally. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW. Support a war movie that does it right. Forget Hollywood and see this amazing documentary.

One Joint Interagency Task Force up armored w/ combined air was all we needed. Why did GW BUSH not let us take the drug money, years ago?
