So before I deployed to Iraq, a survivor of the "Blackhawk Down" incident spoke to my unit. It was heavy. Afterwards, he told us "no matter how bad it gets, there is always worse". And he wasn't saying it to be a dick, I later learned before he deployed somewhere a D-Day survivor pretty much did the same thing for him. It got me through some tough times but I always get emotional, especially when it comes to WWII stuff. NOTHING I've ever done or seen was as heavy as what a lot of those guys went through. And I've gone through and seen some heavy, heavy stuff that I still work through on a daily basis. So I can't imagine what they've suffered through over the years. Jesus. That's why I say I don't want to see this movie but feel I have to.

Don't worry it's Nolan so it will be dumb and diluted

Dude, I totally get it. I mean, I don't, because I didn't serve. But you know what I mean. I really try to empathize and understand as much as I can. Totally makes sense, my friend.

Eh, I was just justifying to myself why I'll go see it and feel bad afterwards. No worries

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
