MEN IN BLACK
Name: SANDBOX DUTY OFFICER David Stanford
Posting date: 8/10/07
The remarkable animated short film below was adapted from Colby Buzzell's book My War: Killing Time in Iraq. The piece was created by director Richard Robbins as part of his award-winning documentary Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, which evolved out of a National Endowment of the Arts project to gather the writings of soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition to interviews, the film features dramatic readings of letters, memoirs, journals, essays, poetry and fiction. Operation Homecoming played in almost 20 cities around the country, and the TV version was broadcast on PBS in April. You can order a copy here.
Thanks to Colby Buzzell and Richard Robbins for giving us permission to post Men in Black.

I am reatively new to this site. Of all that I have read so far, this had the most appeal to me as I considered how little I know of this experience in my quite life here in the states. I am greatfull that you would put this up so that my life could be impacted by it. I am suprised to find that my main response to Men in Black is to be glad we have men and women over there keeping it over there.
Please keep posting what you will. thanks

Eventually it'd be cool if you could get a QR code tattoo. Barcode tattoos already exist, but they don't actually contain information. Someone tattooing a barcode on themselves is most likely using it as a political statement, to suggest that they're oppressed by the man, or just a cog in the global machine.

In the second instance, the use of force was unjust and inappropriate, but not sufficient to cause significant injury. The words used were hateful and stupid, but alone would not seem sufficiently shocking to mobilize the masses seeking justice.
