You know, if there’s one thing that makes me cry, it’s watching women get telegrams in war movies. I hate the military. Actually I love it, but I hate the risk that we must take. My friend Nick didn’t cry when he watched [We Were Soldiers]. I watched just a few minutes of it. The part where she's giving the telegrams to the women, and I'm crying. Because maybe, I think that someday, what if I get a telegram. Well, I don’t think they do telegrams anymore. I wouldn’t know. But you know, I know so many people in the Military.

I must admit, I’m sitting here on the computer taking random glances at the TV while “We Were Soldiers” is playing. I’m horrified by the occasional glances. I hate war. It terrifies me. I love war movies. I have never met a war movie I couldn’t watch. Until now. The producers and directors and whatever did a superb job.
