Heartbreaking

This was an eye-opening, thought-provoking, emotional documentary for me to watch. I did not realize the issues that were ongoing between Americans and Filipinos prior to watching this. The Injustice of Jennifer's murder and the sentence the Marine received was just unfair. It seemed like a slap on the wrist. A couple things that occurred to me while watching this were 1) this man had plenty of time to think about what he was doing before Jennifer died, as it takes approximately 4 minutes to strangle someone to death and this is plenty of time to stop and think about your actions, and 2) if this young man reacts this way when he is simply deceived, imagine how he reacts during other circumstances, such as during high pressure situations like actual combat....it gives me shivers. To say that he would have done this again is not an overstatement, IMO. I hope many people are able to watch this and be as enlightened as I was by it. It was hard to watch, but very good!!
