i haven't seen it yet, myself, but i know a few of the THZ are enlisted, and i was thinking about you guys when i saw the previews. i want to see it not because of intrinsic interest, but because quite honestly, Desert Storm occurred when i was in 3rd grade, and i don't recall much from then, and my comprehension of it is still limited. no, i don't know what it's like, but i have utmost respect for those of you that do.

as an aside, it's based on the book of the same name by Anthony Swofford
