1. Or buy the DVD or put it in your Netflix cue!

"Tomas Young left for Iraq a gung-ho soldier. He returned home paralyzed, struggling to deal with his physical limitations and his changing feelings about the war. This eye-opening documentary looks at the raging debate over the war in Iraq through the eyes of this courageous young hero who signed up for the military two days after Sept. 11, only to be sent to Iraq where a bullet shattered his life physically and emotionally."

4. Sundance Channel is an arm of the Sundance Institute

a non-profit organization based in Park City, Utah!! And everything Utah is infected by MORMONS!!

Or so I have been told here.

5. Didn't Robert Redford start Sundance to showcase smaller indie productions?

Redford is usually liberal/Democratic in his political leanings, although he has on occasion supported some Republicans running for office in Utah.

6. Sure, but who cares? Utah is as evil as Alaska now.

18. This is a very serious movie about a young man who lost way too much in a needless war

And I could give a rat's ass where the Sundance organization is located.

8. NOBODY had better ever disparage Robert Byrd in front of me.

This man was practically the only sane one in Congress.

11. The Immortal 23

I will always think of them as that from here forward.

12. What a documentary; should be required seeing for Congresscritters.

I take some small comfort in the fact that a lot of those people are no longer 'serving'.

[Sydnie]

14. I did too

I was happy to hear everytime there was a name that I could say "GONE" to.

I know he was comatose for several weeks last spring, but was able to return home. Any updates?

He is coming home at the end of November. And he has a new love :)
