Must-See HBO Movie – ‘Taking Chance’ (VIDEO)

***TISSUE ALERT!!!***

Please go read Matt’s full post here about the history, but I have to show you this video. I canceled HBO for my own reasons, but may re-subscribe if only for a month just to see this movie in February.

And for another piece on the making of “Taking Chance:”

YouTube removed the previous video I had posted here, but I found this from a local newscast in 2006 from when Chase was originally brought home:

Godspeed, Lance Corporal Chance Phelps.

    The trailer looks awesome and I hope they put it out on DVD, but I can't see the second video because the bastards at Youtube took it down. Hopefully, you can find another one and post it. Wish we had more movies like this.

      Hey, Tim:

      I HATE YouTube (that's why most of my vids are LiveLeak)… but anyway. I was searching around on YT to see if that vid was posted anywhere else so I could rip it, but I couldn't find it. What I DID find, however, is a REAL tear-jerker – a local newscast from 2006 apparently from Chance's hometown, from when they brought Chance home at that time.

      Thanks,
      MsU

    yeah, i watched the movie from the beginning to the end. am not american, closer to the middle east,am from a country that is “strategic partner” of usa. what i think of the movie? i just see more blood to come, an increase in deaths. It's not that i am not respectful about the loss of people but this kind of aggrandizing doesn't change the fact that some(?) innocent people are dying for the reason most people don't know.

    and i saw a terroris attack counter nerby this site. I think there should also be a counter that counts the deaths of civilians around the world caused by the stars and stripes.
