Lone Survivor

I think they got it wrong.  There are commentators on the left that say this a military propaganda movie. Others from the right may think this is justification for what we are trying to salvage from the involvement in Afghanistan.  Somewhere in the middle has got to be room for the villagers who rescued that lone survivor because in the end they were all human beings trying to survive.  Yet the message of the movie may well be, my view, that none outlives war--even to promote and protect one's way of life. 

It has been said that if we could pull out the heart of evil--when then, we would pull out our own hearts. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said that from the gulags of the Soviet Union, the quiet war on humanity.  Yet the lesson as profound as it was--still it was for him.  Who are the villagers who stepped out to rescue one life while endangering their own?  I saw the hope that lies deeper in each of us than the evil.  It is hope for survival and more.  That what is essentially good in us will remain once the war ceases--until that is--we go at it again.
