Review of Jarhead 2: Field of Fire (2014) by Roxanne R — 28 Aug 2014

Loved the plot of this one involving the rescue and escort of a defiant Afghan woman that the Taliban wants dead because of her beliefs. Corporal Chris Merrimette (Josh Kelly) and his unit have to fight Taliban extremists and terrorists in order to ensure their precious cargo makes it to the USA and meet with the President.

I get chills down my spine as I write this because the film is very real, in other words a very plausible scenario where our military personnel risk their lives to ensure the safety, democracy and fair treatment of other human beings.

Oh and kudos for adding a female Marine to the mix, usually not many women join the US Marines because of their rigorous physical requirements but this one fights tooth and nail along with her counterparts to protect an Afghan woman that is the symbol and last hope for many other Afghan women living under oppressive conditions.

I thank God that I was not born in Saudi Arabia or any of those Muslim countries where women are less than zero and receive horrible treatment, all in the name of "Allah". Recommended!!!
