Letters from Iwo Jima

What a movie this was. Letters from Iwo Jima. The writer of this movie wanted to touch viewers with both sides of this conflict. Everyone at one point feels like they are the true fighters of their county and I believe they are. I have served in the military and the honor that you can get by serving is tremendous just like many others who serve for their country. The writer of this movie wanted people to know that it wasn't just our letters (American) it was also the Japanese who where writing to their loved ones as well. Both countries had family men in the front line. They were brothers, sons, friends. And it didn't matter if they were Americans or Japanese. Combat isn't something nice. Combat is a nightmare for those who fight for their country. This movie touches deep because it was reality for those who fought in this conflict or any other conflict.
