On Christmas Day, my mom, her Aunt Rosemary, and I watched The Great Raid. It’s base don true stories from WWII and the POW rescue in the Philippines. My mom’s dad and her “uncle” Ed were there. Aunt Rosemary’s husband (Uncle Wally) was part of the war. The movie producers had called up Uncle Ed to consult on the movie because of his book As I Remember.
While I found Jarhead slightly disturbing, this is even more disturbing, based on the fact that my family was involved. And it encourages me even more that war is a bad idea.
