Can it get any worse than this (in a pre-war stylee?)

By Bob TourtellotteLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Lights, camera, action! ... a helmet and flak jacket would be very useful, too.
If a war breaks out in Iraq (news - web sites), the U.S. Navy (news - web sites) and Marine Corps plan to film soldiers on the front lines of battle and bring their stories to movie audiences in video spots similar to the old Movietone film reels made during World War II, people involved with the effort said on Wednesday.
The idea, explained Marine Lt. Colonel James Kuhn, is to show people the real images of war and put a human face on the men and women fighting it.
So not only do we have to sit through 15 minutes of commercials, but we have to have a pro-murder propaganda film?
My head hurts. Make it stop.
