If you've admired the wave of well produced (and documented)films dealing with Bush's war in Iraq, then by all means don't think twice, and check out 'Body Of War'. The film focuses on a returning Iraq war veteran who had been wounded in the first few days of being deployed (when he thought he was going to Afghanastan to "get back" at Osama Bin Laden for 9/11/01, only to be duped by his own government)to Iraq. What follows is a combination of footage dealing with Senator Robert Byrd,as well as others trying to talk congress out of voting for the bill of war (out of 100 votes,only 23 voted no,which are listed at film's end,along with the 77 traitors who did vote yes). The rest of the film concerns Tomas Young trying to deal with the physical & mental pain he must deal with on a daily basis. ADVANCE WARNING FOR GUYS: There is some rather unpleasant footage of Young trying to insert a urinary catheter that had me counting ceiling tiles for a few minutes. If you can get past that,Body Of War is another feather in your cap for documentary film lovers who are as sick and tired of Bush's war (which will never be won).
