This is quite an amazing story and the animation is so unique! I felt like I was in the middle of the action. It leaves me with a vivid sense of what the soldiers might be experiencing.

Men in Black /is/ very creative, although I think some of the others are a little more 'critical' in form and interesting, in particular the piece with the added words I find thought-provoking... How does the addition of words in this "documentary" reflect the manipulation of "media" representations of the war? etc... The entire Operation Homecoming project is pretty interesting...

I can understand the need for slight artistic deviation on some of these stories by a filmmaker, but these instances of "word additions" are dishonest and they undermine the real spirit of their respective stories. In "Medevac Missions" especially, one such addition is visibly designed to misrepresent US combat tactics as being highly criminal in nature. By fabricating conversations about the blatant killing of innocent Iraqi children by US Troops, the filmmaker attempts to tack on a unsubstantiated dimension of horror to an already reprehensible set of circumstances that have resulted from this war. I would think that the broken and mangled bodies of our wounded would be enough to get the point across; making up war crimes is just a CHEAP SHOT.

appreciate the feelings of the aeromedical evacuation crewmembers. Been there, done that. It's true, you do what you do to get them through the airlift. You move them from here to there and mostly never know where they go or how they do. But we keep on doing our part -- that's why we signed up, and I still feel very grateful that I can do this job.

A very acurate story of why war is hell. May your shoe box not stay empty.

Greetings. I'm co-producer of the film and will reply occasionally to feedback. I just waned to respond to Casual Hero's note at this time. I'm unclear about the "word addition" that you refer to in "Medevac Missions." There is no such addition in that story, and the writing is by a medevac nurse from his own experiences, not fictionalized. There is no fabricated conversation. Only the story "What Every Soldier Should Know" has visual word additions, which serve a different purpose in that piece. Thank you for writing in.
