We saw the new movie, Brothers at War, Sunday. It’s a very special movie. Very little violence. Lots about families. Those of us who have become military families sometimes have a hard time describing what it’s like. This movie does it as well as anything I’ve seen or read. If you have the chance to see it, you’ll be happy you did. My favorite scene is when a very tough Marine praises his Iraqi troops for their performance under fire, and the smiles on their faces are the smiles of men who have not often been praised, and now get it from a man who has come from the other side of the world, and is willing to fight and die with them. It’s beautiful.
