The Ground Truth


Diana and I went to a public screening last night of the documentary "The Ground Truth". Holy shit, was it powerful. I don't care where you are on the political spectrum, what you think about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or who you're going to back in the 2008 presidential elections... you should see this movie. It really made me stop and think about what it REALLY means to "Support the Troops".

Homework assignment: rent, Netflix, or buy "The Ground Truth". Watch it. Post your thoughts back here. Seriously, if you love America and you want to get soldiers' perspectives on what's happening, watch the movie.

What is the assignment if we hate America and are actively trying to muzzle their attempts at providing their perspective?

I have to take the bait. Pete, here are some potential responses:

1) I guess you should fire more US Attorneys, right?

2) I guess you should overturn the Reagan-authored directive regarding presidential archive secrecy (http://tinyurl.com/2l8qdz), and extend it to your relatives, too...

Haha, didn't even know about the archives thing. Man, what are these guys, Politburo members? Somewhere, the ghosts of former Soviet premiers are taking notes...
