This is an awesome tribute to the men who fought and died there.
And a telling statement about the conditions in which the current war is being fought.
Iwo Jima

That is so accurate - it's exactly what we're being fed when we watch the news!
Blathery banter and pointless questions. The quippy little "sound-bite" answers trickle down to us and the important issues are lost to us because the answers don't fit into a 3½-second clip.
Our insistence on shallow, insipid, personality-driven analysis just makes our losses yesterday even harder to take.

very good!
btw, this reminds me of something...
surely our troops get 'breaks' don't they? I mean, a few at a time
can leave the shooting etc and go for a snack or cig....
isn't the required by law for each so many hrs of work? 
if they don't, it must surely be a violation of some kind...
any of those humanitarian grps checking into that???
