There's a ton of great content out there dealing with military subject matter (training / operations-related, motivational, entertaining & educational, historical, etc.); the idea is to have a fun and thought-provoking discussion, and to learn a thing-or-two while we're at it. If you can remember details but not the title; no worries, just post a description, and we'll activate the RP network to help find it. Here we'll discuss those defining sources that influence us, our culture, as well as public perception and opinion... sort of a representation of the "art-imitates-life, life-imitates-art" concept. Well, there's certainly some memorable content out there, I have my favorites and I'm sure that that you all do too. So, strap on your seatbelts, pull-up a keyboard, and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

The most recent non-fiction piece was released by the VA OIG stating that their panel did not review the deaths in Phoenix with medical standards that would be required by the Arizona State Medical Board, and that they could not definitively link the veteran's deaths with care, or lack thereof, by the VA.
Hmmm, CIA bio/chem tests, Atomic bomb exposures, Agent Orange, GWI, and a few other issues had similar sewage that the OIG just used...
Our government spin is working great - "We bury our Mistakes" Anonymous VA Medical Director at a nameless VHA facility. RIP, our brothers and sisters and families.

Band of Brothers
Generation Kill-wish I could figure out how to get the sound to work on my (boyfriend's) Amazon Prime so I can watch this one. It is torture being able to bring it up and not know enough about technology to get sound. My (boyfriend's) Netflix works though :/

Saving Private Ryan. - Two scenes really poked the "pay attention" button. First one was where Ryan has said that he's not going back and they tell him they lost 3 men getting to him. He looks at them and asks "What were their names?" and near the end when Tom Hanks tells Ryan "earn this!" I don't know who wrote the script, but they got to the heart of it.
And Patton - "Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor pale to insignificance!"

Band of Brothers has to be my all time favorite. The insight given to the series by the men that where actually there made all the difference in the series.
