Martin,
A profound film.
None of us knows how we will respond - no matter the extent of our training- until we are actually under fire for the first time.
In this film, you have illustrated a way out of shame, guilt and self-loathing to the redemptive space where we can (no matter our experiences and responsibilities in war operations) find reason to continue to live and have a hope for peace in our hearts.
Semper Fidelis
Joe Johns (US Marine Sergeant American Embassy Security Detachment Beirut March 1980 to March 1981).
