Hurt Locker


So, we watched this one the other evening.
Had doubts about whether I would watch it or leave the room, you know the "violence" thing. Also, had heard interviews on NPR, from former US military who had served in Iraq, some thought it didn't go far enough, others thought it too far, others just said it was not accurate - whatever.
Since it did win the Oscar, I figured we should see if it was worthy. Must say, that we watched it from start to finish, although some scenes were pretty gruesome, I came away from it with a distaste in my mouth for the reasons why we should be there.
Just don't know, should we or shouldn't we? All those precious lives lost, all those military families who will never see their loved one again.
