  1. Unstrapped and went to the movies tonight. Watched 12 Strong. What an awesome story. I’ll give the movie a 5 out of 10. That being said it a must see just to understand the story. And Bradly Manning, you’re a loser. You knew it from birth. No we all know it.

    The 12 is a true story that’s just been declassified. The big mistake was the lead actor, an Australian, and really poor gun advise. This story deserved much more attention to reality. But again I say it”s worth seeing just to understand the story.
