Click HERE for footage "redacted" from Lions for Lambs. Attn: Liberals. NSFW......and below is as good a reason as any for the failure of the anti-War movies, written by a real honest to God newsman......

And since every story requires a villain, the real enemy--Mohammedan Jihadists--are replaced by neo-cons, politicians, Soldiers and Marines.

This substitution of the traditional mono-myth away from a hero who faces physical danger and conquers an enemy is a result of cowardice of the modern story tellers.

The human mind craves the same narrative--this was illustrated by Joseph Campbell...also, we all want to be the hero.

But when confronted with a real life situation--like the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and larger war on terror few will step up to be heroes.
The History Channel (with an audience in the hundreds) has shown segments of what he has done.
