..rejoice. A long overdue tactical version of this site is now available. (Designed for PDAs.) Still some bugs to work out* - this took 5 minutes to create using Scriptygoddess code.
Did the same for Mudville. If you've got a pda version of your site available leave a link in comments - I want to compile a "Tactical" blogroll. If you don't have one, what better way to spend 5 minutes out of your weekend?
*For instance - the most recent post does not appear - not sure why yet.
Forgive me if I'm skeptical Hawk, but I've got to concur with Salamander here. Hollywood is in love with the idea of the military destroying the fragile human mind. Hell they couldn't even pull off a decent Gulf War flick without A) sending soldiers on a stupid treasure hunt (Three Kings) or B) glorifying the diary of a punk kid and terrible Marine (Jarhead).
We had to navigate through Born on the Fourth of July, Platoon, and Full Metal Jacket before we were treated to We Were Soldiers. Maybe in another 30 years and another 3-4 crappy "military ruined my life" flicks we'll see a decent Gulf War II film.
And if we do, may I be the first to suggest turning Marines in the Garden of Eden into a screenplay?
Greyhawk, I don't know if I share your optimism. I will admit that with Hollywood I am gun shy, but looking at the trailer what we have is a movie that of the four main characters that come back, one becomes a nut job with a gun facing the police, one explodes in anger "you weren't there" at one in what looks like a series of dead-end jobs, one is having trouble being Mom again, and the leader (S.L. Jackson) looks to have a son who is being a spoiled anti-war pain in the a55. I hope you are right, but this has a 70s replay written all over it. I hope I am wrong.
How about a note on *why* we do all this, anyway?
The future.
Holly Aho, Soldiers' Angel extraordinaire and one of the busiest ladies in the MilBlog world has delivered a beautiful new baby girl--Vivianne Allison. Her four brothers are adjusting to having a sister... - FuzzybearLioness
"Home of the Brave" - looks like a possible winner - but I expect you won't have trouble finding a seat in any theater where this plays. Not the sort of "escape" Americans want - I say the box office will be less then that for Jackass II or Fahrenheit 9/11.
Patricia Brooks, a 68 year-old grandmother, is on a hunger strike. It's her way of protesting Operation Iraqi Freedom. If I were grandma, I would be a bit concerned about this:
Day after day Brooks becomes a little weaker, and during a recent interview she had difficulty focusing her attention.No one, she said, including her son in Dallas, Ore., is trying to talk her out of her fast. (He did not return a reporter's phone calls.)
Just saying...
