Yep saw it, hotdocs is compulsary viewing around here....good stuff.

The bit when the 19 y.o was bragging how when he gets home he'll be the shiz coz he's only 19 and has fought a war, made me cringe..

poor f*kka has no idea....

Most of those guys seemed far to young and immature to be exposed to such a place and times and it showed badly....all under the banner of devout christianity. It was sad...sad to see all those young fellas being mentally screwed but not realising it yet.

yeah mate couldn't have put it better myself

some of the interviews encapsulated the views of a lot of americans..they certainly are a different bunch of people.

and through it all you can see that almost all of the footsloggers would no doubt be from the poorest of american communities

if you're bored, check out charles firth from cnnnn (pre- abc chaser days) in these vids doing vox pops with every day yanks - pure gold
