As a part time funeral director here in San Jose, CA, I participated in the burial of two soldiers in the past year. (There were, of course, more that my funeral home had buried but I was only involved in two.) Both young men were in their early twenties. Both fought honorably and served our country well. But the tragety and senselessness of their deaths at such a young age brings into clear focus what the C.O.s depicted in your film talked about. I may not have as clear, up front experience as the C.O. soldiers had but my experience was up front, in person and in my face as probably a non-conbatant civilian may have. I saw the devastation it had on their families. When looking at their deaths and the false reasons they were put in harm's way, just is upsetting. As Camelo said just imagine peace . . . (Wasn't this John Lennon's message to?) Tom
