perfidy

At the Milblog conference a little while back, I met Deborah and Mike from the War Tapes. Deborah had the idea of giving cameras to soldiers, and Mike was one of the soldiers of the New Hampshire Guard who took one to Iraq. I had a great time sitting with Mike at Finn's waiting on his food (for over an hour) and talking old cars and motorcycles. I've watched some of the clips they've released as teasers, and it looks like its going to be a remarkable film. Their movie premiered at the Tibeca film festival to acclaim, and now it will be opening around the country. New York will get it on the 2nd of June, and Washington, Boston and SF on the 30th. You can believe that I will be at the opening here in DC. (Johno, I recommend you see it as well up there in beantown.)

But apparently some people don't get it. Andi of Andi's world reports that some in the mainstream media are less than enthusiastic where the film grates up against their ideological filters.

[wik] On a completely other and rather inconsequential note, I am pleased to finally have a reason to use the "War" and "Entertainment" categories at the same time.
