Saw a preview for this move last night when I went to see DOOM. I thought it looked pretty promising. Plus I think it's cool to see the guy from Donnie Darko take a role like that. I think it was probably a good choice. What do you guys think of it?

For those who don't know, it's about a kid who joins the army and is sent off to the Gulf War. The main character is Donnie from Donnie Darko.

And it ends with him dying a meaningless death from an IED on the roadside while making a donut run.

Just finished the book. It wasn't too bad, especially for a marine turned writer.

The movie should be interesting depending on how they have adapted it.

Actually, that was proof that Bush, Sr. had a brain in his head. No viable exit strategy and no realistic successor to Saddam.

I didn't get that at all from the book. Did Mel Gibson direct it?
