I don't know if this counts or not,  but last night I watched a bonus feature on my Blu ray of Saving Private Ryan.    It was about the those whom filmed actual footage of WWII.   They showed alot of footage I had never seen before.  It was graphic, very graphic.   It showed footage of battle, the aftermath,  it show countless dead bodies.  Some were horribly mutilated and deformed.  It also showed film of the concentration camps and the aftermath of the Atom bombs.  One shot showed a Japanese woman  and her baby.  They think she saw the camera and feared capture.   She threw her baby off a cliff and then jumped herself(remember back then Japanese didn't like to captured alive.  The final shot will stay with me for a while.  It was a film a a poor 2-4 year Asian girl who must have gotten caught in the middle a battle.  She was being fed by a US soldier.  She was shaking and there was blood on her it was clear she was wounded.  She was scared to death.  No child should have to go through whatever hell she must have gone through.  Everyone should be required to see it once to understand why war should be avoided if at all possible.
