'Kippur'

The most poignant moment in this film is about an hour and a half into the film where the rescue guys are dragging this poor casaulty through this mire of thick mud.

What an excruciating 15 or so minutes. Just realizing that you're up against a time limit and you're muscles are aching as it saps the ever-loving oxygen out of your body.

Then the one guy goes crazy and screams, "What are we doing here?"

If I had to bet on one thing that's screamed the most during a war, that's it. Just watch a majority of modern war films and that's a running theme.

"What are we doing here?"

I'm sure it's been screamed many a-time in the Middle East along with Yugoslavia, Africa, Europe, the Far East and even the United States. Really, it's universal.

"What are we doing here?"
