The Hurt Locker

Yep, one of THE most messed up movies I've ever seen. 

Screwed in the head, completely dislocated and fine (freaked out, insecure, neurotic and emotion).  This is WHY Career Military disagree with having enlisted men.  This is WHY politicians like having enlisted men - disposable population control - it's positively disgusting.  Career Military have spent centuries becoming what they are and know why they do what they do as well as how to do it while staying sane, in touch with their families and their country.  Being in the military is NOT about playing Xbox and yet that is what it has become in the age of political abuse of the enlisted man.  

As for the Sauds that promote, educate and train the use of IEDs and use women and children as IEDs - if it is His will and only if it is His will, may the Lord of Abraham, Ishmael and Issac follow through on His curses and give them their full course because they have done EXACTLY what He forbade in the Qur'an; after the death of the women and children in the streets.  Mohammad, himself relayed the strict instruction of the Lord through Archangel Gabriel that women and children were to be left out of war and all its ugliness - so I agree with the Moorish Sufi's that say, [If you are a Terrorist, you are no longer a Muslim - you are forsaken.]  Fortunately, it is the Lord himself that curses the Sauds - both in the Bible and in the Qur'an.  So, everyone else wake up, stop listening to the Sauds, and avoid them at all cost!!!  Literally avoid their mosques, their schools, their land, their businesses and completely avoid them.  They cut their citizen's heads off in the streets for a reason - they are lost.

AS for the movie itself...

After several hours of holding my breathe, I'm glad it's done.  It was exceptional, far better acted than Platoon.  Done in a superb realistic style.  Excellent pacing, plucking the same military movie notes as in the past, but doing a far superior job of it.  "Brothers" was worthless by comparison.  I'm glad to see it won 6 Academy Awards. 

However, I wish we didn't have to make movies like that, much less have war glorified and justified at the end.  What a mess.  As a Pacifist, I just have to say the ending was the absolute worst.  And the only realistic thing was the 365 countdown.  The whole, look at his shinny new boots and how proud he is to go back and do his duty was just morally messed up.  The fact that the character was the good guy willing to help both sides doesn't justify making War look pretty.  War has not solved one single problem on this planet.  Not one.  As a form of resolution it has completely failed in its viability. 

And of course for the main character, it's even sadder that anyone could reach that age and only love one thing - the scriptwriter lost his focus at this point.  I thank the Lord that I can stop and smell the roses and value all they are and all the beauty of their creation whether I am in a war zone, refugee camp or a peace zone.  Most people can't say that because they've never been in all three. There is a ton to love about this Life and if you can't figure out what those things are - its seriously time for an ashram or retreat.

I recommend everyone see this movie once.  Recognize the good parts - that it happens and exists.  Recognize it's bad parts - its a propaganda tool and don't get sucked in.  Then spend your kid's lives showing them Lord Buddha's, Jesus', and Gandhi's choice.  Their choices to stop war and the fundamental reasons/need for war are far superior.
