CRISIS!

Last night after I went on a cinematic adventure (Watched Black Hawk Down), I picked up my book and started reading.  I was on a role going through a very intense firefight between the platoon the author is following and Al Queda fighters when I spilled my protein shake all over my book.  What a waste of a protein shake.  Extremely disappointed in myself for that.  Anywho, I was begining to think that the media was under playing the amount of drama in war movies in my previous posts, but after last night I'm back to my original thoughts that the media is way to over dramatic.  In the book the men are so trained on what to do that they just do it.  The movies show hesitation, extreme fear, and sometimes cowardness from the soldiers.  They do this to build a plot and create drama.  However, in the book I am reading, "War", Junger says how robotic the soldiers are and how quickly they are to react to firefights.  They do not hesitate becasue they know that if they do they will likely die.  Of course the men are scared in the book, but Junger says that they are more scared of making a mistake that will kill their men.  They all care about keeping eachother alive more so then keeping themselves alive.
