Danger Close

| April 28, 2017

The folks who made the new documentary “Danger Close” wanted me to tell y’all about the film which is being released today.

In the third film from Strong Eagle Media’s military trilogy, DANGER CLOSE follows female war reporter Alex Quade’s daring missions to tell soldiers’ stories during a series of unprecedented embeds with Conventional Forces and US Special Ops Forces at the height of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Looks like a fun movie, from the little I’ve read.

I am 100% FOR telling the story of any of our Fallen. I am 100% FOR telling the story of what our people do, the sacrifices they make, the pains they endure, and the hope they bring to others. What I am 100% against with respect to this movie, I guess I’ll keep to myself. The lady reporter has rec’d numerous accolades and professional awards for her important work. And that’s as it should be.

It sure seems like it’s very important that the sex of the reporter is known to all.

A reporter did their job, who cares what sex she is!

It’s time taken from the SUBJECT.

The SUBJECT IS ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT to me.

Tell me about the SF Soldier not about how tough you are for getting past your boo boo.

At least she could have put some plates in the plate carrier…

Reminds me of Tom Brokaw’s book “The Greatest Generation”. Nice read but it was all about Tom Brokaw.

Well, hell, what good is keeping shit to myself if youse guys are gonna go there? Yeah, that’s what I was not mentioning: it smacks of a “Monument to Me.”

I’m curious AS TO why it is necessary to tell us that Alex Quade is a female.

If the article had just said war correspondent Alex Quade, isn’t that sufficient?

Sometimes, maintaining a little mystery about the source is a good idea.

Alex Danger Quade.
There. You need to look at the full name.

Yeah. (Snerrkkk!) Okay, uh…. I think there were some well-meant intentions behind her trip. I think it’s the rather breathless vocabulary in the PR release that accompanies the trailer that stops me.
