As we talk and tour the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in the South Loop, Sinise's gravel-and-coffee-grounds growl picks up momentum and passion. At one point, he's hard to interrupt to ask a question as his voice succumbs to infuriated frustration. Especially when talking about director Brian De Palma.
Listen: "He was out to get the troops, to depict them as child rapists. That's the truth he wanted to tell. That's one particular, horrible episode that happened by, clearly, some criminals who happen to be in the American military."
*snip*
On this day Sinise is in Chicago promoting "Brothers at War," which opens Friday. He served as executive producer on the documentary, in which director Jake Rademacher follows two of his younger brothers, both soldiers, to their theaters of war in Iraq.

Thanks Gary Sinise. (and thanks for posting, STARWISE)
God bless Gary Sinise for his unrelenting support
and honor of our brave heroes.
He’s a GREAT American.
Damn! Go Gary!
Just say it like it is: that Depalma hates our military.
Fantastic ... thank you ............. ;)
ABSOLUTELY!
Thanks for the link, FrPR.
” BROTHERS AT WAR is an intimate portrait of an American family during a turbulent time.
Jake Rademacher sets out to understand the experience, sacrifice, and motivation of his two brothers serving in Iraq.
The film follows Jake’s exploits as he risks everything—including his life—to tell his brothers’ story. Often humorous, but sometimes downright lethal, BROTHERS AT WAR is a remarkable journey where Jake embeds with four combat units in Iraq.
Unprecedented access to US and Iraqi combat units take him behind the camouflage curtain with secret reconnaissance troops on the Syrian border, into sniper “hide sites” in the Sunni Triangle, through raging machine gun battles with the Iraqi Army.
Ultimately, the film follows his brothers home where separations and life-threatening work ripple through their parents, siblings, wives, and children.
BROTHERS AT WAR is a rare look at the bonds and service of our soldiers on the frontlines and the profound effects their service has on the loved ones they leave behind.”

I used the scroll down bar on the left and listened to all but the last 15 minutes...no Gary. I just tried the other one (main) and scrolled down, downloaded and spot listened scrolling across that 54 minutes and got the same as the other one.
Thanks for the link, nonetheless.
I heard that Sinise is trying to get that filmed released to DVD. Political agenda? I hope so.
