    Ethan Hawke starred in an excellent though disturbing  movie that really gives some thought provoking insight into drones and modern war.

    Hey soul-eater. No more wars. There are other options, non-violent options to deal with a situation. Stop stoking the flames of war and trying to act like a tough guy. If you wouldn't send your own sons and daughters to war, and we know you wouldn't, don't send anyone else's sons and daughters to war. Figure out how to deal without bombs.

    Did the US shoot down an Iranian drone?  Or was it the other way around?  Hard to tell via this thread.

    No one has said that a US drone wasnt shot down. Not even Iran.

    WH is downplaying it as a possible mistake made by an overzealous/incompetent individual in the Iran military.

    I'd like to suggest easing up on each other. We're just having exchanges of ideas and points of view. Thanks all.

    HuffPo seems mostly to be quoting the NYT, so here’s the original article.

    It's really heavy, intense, disturbing, but a very brave movie and I can't think of anyone who could have done the lead roll better than Ethan Hawke.  It's a bold, brave, movie that lays out in the open the injustices of war.  I imagine the film makers took some heat for making this film.  And I must say, thank goodness for how it ends.

    The president may use our sons and daughters as Disposable Heroes let's hope to hell that doesn't happen. This is by far my favorite anti war songs from Metallica and at over 200 beats per minute it speaks of the horrors of war as it destroys the mind of a soldier....



     Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
    No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
    Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
    Victim of what said should be, a servant 'til I fall

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Soldier boy, made of clay, now an empty shell
    Twenty-one, only son, but he served us well
    Bred to kill, not to care, do just as we say
    Finished here, greeting death, he's yours to take away

    [Chorus]
    Back to the front
    You will do what I say, when I say
    Back to the front
    You will die when I say, you must die
    Back to the front
    You coward, you servant, you blind man

    [Verse 2]
    Barking of machine-gun fire, does nothing to me now
    Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
    More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends
    Bodies fill the fields I see, the slaughter never ends

    Peace
