As we all know, for years Hollywood has had this obsession with trying to make the American military and the wars it has fought into nothing more than heartless chest-thumping rage machines who maim and kill innocents indiscriminately (remember Brian De Palma? ‘Nuff said).

This trailer to a new HBO movie, "Taking Chance," (release date February 21), will bring tears to your eyes. It's about a Marine killed in combat being brought home for burial. We owe him - and all those like him - so much. * We also owe Blackfive a debt of gratitude for making the movie happen and bringing the story to us.

Last night, we watched the HBO movie Taking Chance. My husband said, “I’ve heard it’s sad. Grab the tissues.” And… for seventy-seven minutes, I cried. It tells the story of a marine escort as he accompanied the body of PFC Chance Phelps home for burial. I had previously heard Chance’s name through a blogger friend [...]
