War Dogs: America's Forgotten Heroes

Buy This Item War Dogs: America's Forgotten Heroes by GRB Entertainment  Available from Amazon  $14.95  on 11-14-2008     I am a seventh grade English teacher and every year my classes study a Veterans Day unit. This video teaches an aspect of the humanity of the American soldier that nothing else I can present teaches. This video is compellingly compassionate towards treatment of animals in general, and specifically towards each of the featured dogs and their handlers in Viet Nam. Many of my students weep during the viewing of the video and no matter how many times I show it, I am always moved to tears. This video is so well loved it "disappeared" this year and I am frantic to replace it. I simply cannot teach the Veterans Day unit again without the slant this video provides, demonstrating graphically the emotional toll the dog handlers paid and the homage they continue to pay, these many years later, to the dogs who accompanied them in the jungles of Viet Nam. This video is tremendously AWESOME. Reader Reviews Forgive me if I vent a little: How is it that a marvelous gem of a documentary like this still languishes on a dying format (VHS) while idiotic drivel like "MTV's Real World" or "Sex in the City" pop right onto DVD? It's an irony that some of the best things are just kept in the can somewhere in a dusty archive waiting for a building fire.
