Gunner Palace (2004)

[Mr. Analog]

 Here's a DVD coming out this week that I'll certainly be buying!

Synopsis:

American soldiers of the 2/3 Field Artillery, a group known as the "Gunners," tell of their experiences in Baghdad during the Iraq War. Holed up in a bombed out pleasure palace built by Sadaam Hussein, the soldiers endured hostile situations some four months after President George W. Bush declared the end of major combat operations in the country.

This is an interesting film because it gives perspective from the fighting mans' eyes, not the Gov't, the media or anyone else. At the least worth a rental.

Gunner Palace (iMDB)

 Watched the trailer early this year, looks pretty authentic, intense, and surprisingly balanced - as in they actually *let* the unhappy soldiers voice their unhappiness.

The question of course is what disciplinary actions happened to Private McGrumpypants after the camera stopped rolling...
