    Has anyone seen this, a very good documentary that was on Discovery the other night, about 3 US marines that are given a camera each and document their time in Iraq and how it affected them when they got home. I missed the first hour of it so hopefully it'll be on again, I recommend it to anyone interested in that sort of thing

    National Guard as it happens not Marines. Interesting nonetheless. What was most interesting is the way combat changed them all. I did feel from the commentary that one of them, Moriarty felt he had something to prove. I don't think he succeeded actually. Didn't help him at all I would say.

    sorry, national guards not marines. I wish I had seen the first half cause I didnt get in to character traits of the people enough , I think this was shortlisted for the oscars, really had an original perspective, i.e. it wasnt blatantly anti or pro war, it really left it to the audience to make up their own mind based on the commentary
