GUNNER PALACE....Phil Carter saw a screening of the documentary Gunner Palace last night and raves about it today:
"Gunner Palace" does what no book, no news article, and no blog can do it makes the soldiers of 2-3 FA come alive for those experiencing the movie, in a way they could only do if they were in person.
...."Gunner Palace" stands alone for conveying a sense of how it feels to ride down a highway in Baghdad in an open HMMWV, looking at every bag on the side of the road as a potential IED, never knowing which one might explode. It may be said that this movie is crude, profane, and even obscene at times but so is war. "Gunner Palace" gives us a brutally honest view of this war from the perspective of our young men and women fighting it, and I can't recommend this movie highly enough.
Acording to its website, Gunner Palace opens on March 4. Sounds like it's worth seeing.
