Movie: 'Battle for Haditha'

This is one movie that has touched me. IMDB link here.

It's about the war on 'terror'. This is what the American's say for the invasion on Iraq!! This movie gives a different picture altogether. Other side of the picture on terror war! An angle i always ignored to think about. Civilians in Iraq or the general public who have lost a normal life in all this invasion. Common man dies a dog's death everyday there. In the name of war on terror everyday hundred innocent civilian casualties. The movie pictures an incident that happened in a city called Haditha in Iraq. A certain mass killing of the civilians there on behest of orders to kill responsible for a IED explosion that took US mariner's life. Kids, women and the helpless are slaughtered as if it was a unreal tourney game! A sense of helplessness, agony and fightback to no results is what the movie is picturing. Imagine this, if you support extremists there, army kills you. And if you support army, extremists kill you. Anyways, you are dead. And only thing you could chose is how you could die and supporting whom!! After all the casualties, a kid survives in a family that had 11 people! And the innocent gets to see her parents and siblings slaughtered in front of her very own eyes. A loss that could never be overcome.
I equally feel bad for the mariners too who have to lead a life where in they have to kill innocents just because they feel unsafe when Iraqis are around with their assault riffles(it's common there in Iraq to posses assault riffles at homes) and also that they do not know who really are the ones creating trouble. They just have to execute orders. No wonder, some of the post war syndromes in marines are that they find it hard to sleep with the pictures of these innocent killings returning as nightmares. Last week an article in the newspaper said about a mariner taking life of a 16 year old girl by running over her in his car. Reason, he was totally depressed and hence was abusing a lot of alcohol and was drunk when he ran the teenager over in his car. A lot cases like these are reported. Now, who's mistake is this?
A good movie on a very good subject.

PS: This post is dedicated to people who've lost lives in the war unnecessarily. Be it a mariner or a civilian. May peace follow soon. And prayers for the people of the region to get to lead their normal life soon.
