Speaking of dehumanizing soldiers
I got this in my inbox today. How about we do all we can to keep this soldier from being dehumanized in a war based on lies.

the link appears to be broken, so I can't read it.
But since you're talking about the military and dehumanization, it reminds me that I watched Jarhead last night... how stomach turning. I enjoyed the movie, but it made clear what the military truly does to people. It's horrifying, really.
I haven't seen jarhead. I'm much more likely to watch other stomach turning movies like Hotel Rwanda or the Constant Gardner (I cried through the last 30 minutes of that one)
I've seen Hotel Rwanda. Different kind of stomach turning. In Hotel Rwanda, the characters in the story are intimately aware with the atrocities going on. In Jarhead, the marines don't realize that they're being turned into mindless killing machines... although some of the characters understand that something is wrong. It's fascinating, in that regard.
the link will work if you add an "http://" in front of the URL.
