Review of Not Yet Begun to Fight (2012) by Buggy B — 27 May 2014
This was only an hour long but hugely powerful. Profiling several wounded combat veterans who go to a fishing camp run by a Vietnam veteran -who found that fly-fishing (the act of catch and release) helped him deal with his own emotional distress.
Through intimate interviews we learn what the men did in the war; pilots, SEAL's, bomb disposal, drivers and then the human cost of war is shown as they try to come to terms with their new reality.
Most are suffering from blast injuries and PTSD. Packs a huge punch, such valuable men now so damaged. The SEAL stood out; a huge barrel chested man now missing a leg, confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak but as his tattoo says "we ain't done fighting yet" Wow.
