Act of Valor - A Review

Clint Wagnon reviews Act of Valor. His conclusion:

Many men will watch Act of Valor and be exhilarated by the action, but remain oblivious to the message. Like X-Box warriors whose lives are filled with jabber but vacant of valor, the language of courage, faithfulness and brotherly love will be lost on them to the pyrotechnics on the screen. SEALs live (and die) by their Code. Leading and being led. Respect for one another and authority. Integrity, responsibility for actions, and “Loyalty beyond reproach.” Honor on the battlefield and off. Devotion to team and teammate. A love that lays down its life for a friend. And, of course, a heart for home. These things will mock warrior-wannabes as they experience valor the only way they know how–vicariously, sitting in front of a flat screen or watching other men do what they simply refuse: live a life of faithfulness and honor.

Some men will see this movie with their buddies, grab some beers afterward while glorying in what they just watched, and then go about wasting their lives. But a few will witness what is already wired in their hearts to do–answer the call to be the leader and lover he was created to be. That Christ died that they could be. A few will become that honorable man. A few will be that faithful brother. But only a few.

Read the rest.

Looks like I'll be checking this one out.
